Hi, Everyone! I'm really excited to introduce everyone to my new line of trumpet mutes. Currently, I've released 3 different models, and I believe that they sound great! I hope to post some more videos when I have a chance over the weekend. Please, check them out at buddhabellymuteco.com, or my eBay store, https://www.ebay.com/usr/bobmiller369, where I have most of them listed. I'd love to hear everyone's thoughts. Thanks! -Bob

@bobmiller1969 Interesting designs. Your approach to creating these mutes is admirable. Please let us know when your videos become available. BTW - what material(s) do you use to make them? Bamboo?

@j-jericho They are made with individually laser cut rings of Baltic Birch plywood. The resonators are solid Walnut (not plywood). The only minor change that I'm making, is switching to more traditional corks for the cup and straight mute. The composite cork just wasn't staying on very well.
I haven't had a chance to make new videos, but here are a couple that I posted to the Facebook page. -Bob
