[TPIN] Trumcor mute

[Michael Anderson]

Yes it is on my Monette C. I haven't tried it on a Bach but will. Never
thought of that. I do have the Trumcor lyric straight mute made specifically
for the Monette bell and it doens't play as well in tune as I'd like either.
I don't think they make the cup with a larger throat size for the Monette
trumpet.. So maybe that is the issue. None-the-less, the Wick works great
for this piece.

It plays perfectly in tune until you get to A, Bb, C above the staff.
