[TPIN] the real mute solutions

[John Clark]

I found that it totally depends on the bell size and plating.  I used to have a Kanstul Bergeron and I tried 6 diferent harmon mutes and none fit the bell.  The other factor was that the bell was unlacquered.  I suspect if the bell was laquered that the mutes may have stayed in with the breath and lick trick.

I've always fogged the bell and licked the cork.  My bubble mute hasn't 
fallen out that I can recall.
