I just got my Humes and berg mute. I think I got the last one in stock in the country. (brasswind) It's as good as everyone said it was, and works well with my piggy. just for the record, if I had a 186-type bell, I probably would have gone with the Trumcor mute. Both are great, and I went with the H+B because it had more of a metallic sound.
By the way, if anybody ever needs a euphonium mute, I played a Denis wick at Tubastore and was totally blown away by it. It was actually fun to play on! No change in intonation or control, just a nice muted "sizzle" sound. PERFECT!!!!
