[TPIN] Solotone mute?

[Stephen W. Thiel]

I'd describe it as sounding close to a Harmon with the stem in (for 
those who recall that their Harmon actually had a stem).  I picked up 
one of the H&B cleartone mutes to get the sound, and now that I have 
one, I'm trying to find more places to use it.
