Mute Monday Ep. 8 - Shew Soloist, AP&M Buzz, Harmon Cup, Soulo Update!

I've created a free "Mute Handbook" to help you play better 🎺🎺 Get it here: http://www.JoshRzepka.com/mutehandbook

In this week's #mutemonday video I check out the Shew Soloist, AP&M Buzz, Vintage Harmon Cup, and an update to the Soulo Mute Harmon Style "wah-wah" mute. The Soloist harmon was created by Bobby Shew and it's one of the most sought after harmon mutes that there is. It has a very unique sound and is geared towards playing on a close mic. The AP&M Aristocrat Buzz mute is by far the best buzz mute I've ever played - what a unique sound. The last vintage mute I discuss in this video is a rare 1930s Harmon brand Cup Mute. Very cool, and a nice sounding mute.

A big thanks to Harmon for lending me this mute to review! Finally, an update on the Soulo harmon mute! Since I got mine at the ITG conference in Anaheim 3 years ago (2017) they have tweaked a few things, including replacing the cork with foam, an updated stem, and an insert which really gives the mute another dimension.
