[TPIN] Concertgebouw Orchestra in San Francisco

[Michael Anderson]

This is also a Marcus Bonna mute - I call it the Weeble mute because you
can't set it down on end. It is a very long skinny mute that fits way up in
the bell and works great for soft delicate playing.

You can get them at Thompson Music who is a major importer of Bonna stuff.
