Of course I should have remebered this aspect from my French horn life. Other camp fellows came with their expensive tuneable Alexander mutes. They had a fixed inner tubing with a slideable tube insert.

I had a Denis Wick mute with fixed inner tubing only. With my love for low tech solutions I fell back on a very obvious remedy:

I found a cardboard center tube from a roll of toiletpaper. It fitted well enough to work perfectly.

Please do not report, that you have used the same solution on your tuba mute. That might lead to less than pleasant comments on either your tuba or on your anatomy.

PS: I guess that some limits of decorum have been pushed by a certain comment of today. On a Miraphone BBb.
