I'm thrilled to announce that after 8 months of development, I am finally able to the unveil phase 1 of my contribution to the orchestral brass players of the world! A growing comprehensive database focusing on mute usage in orchestra rep, chamber rep, and even solo rep. This website aims to facilitate the lives of brass players by giving us easy access to reliable answers regarding what kinds of mutes, if at all, we should be bringing to rehearsals, classes, gigs, concerts, tours - anything.
I present to you all: doineedamute.com
And please, share this with anyone you know who would use something like this!

(Not criticizing, just letting you know a thing that should be an easy fix)
What's Phase 2??
