    I enjoyed the video. It was very informative. I saved the stem of my Harmon mute. I used a cup few times when playing. I have an aluminum Jo-Ral wah wah mute. I seldom use it because I hardly play open horn because the neighbors don't like it. My favorite wah wah mute I have is the Country Crock butter tub I have. Most times I just use my Yamaha Silent Brass mute because of the neighbors. This is why I don't play my alto sax often either.
