[TPIN] Jo-Ral Mutes suggestions for improvement?

[David Arndt]

I was going to post exactly the same comment as Dave Lee, below.  Nice
mutes, but they're heavy.  I dented my flugel last month when the Jo-Ral
harmon fell out of my trumpet during a rehearsal.  

It would also be nice for Jo-Ral to make another harmon with a somewhat
warmer (more diffused/darker) tone.  The Jo-Ral is great, but I find it a
little 'pointed' for certain things.

[my copper jo-ral bubble mute is finally staying in the end of 
[the horn, but for the first yr. or two it would fall out 
[pretty easily, and it's so heavy that it didn't make a muted 
[sound when it hit! don't know if there is some change that 
[could be made to the cork, or if it's just the weight of the 
[mute that makes this more a problem....dave lee
