[TPIN] Solotone mute?

[Dave Lee]

I play with a "society" dance band where this mute is used for a couple of
songs every gig....the song that comes to mind is "song of india"...and a
few lawrence welk type medleys....it has a distinct sound that combines the
cupped sound with the old harmon (w/stem) sound...worth having if you play
that kind of music....dave lee austin, tx
