Re: Using a Harmon mute on a clarinet?

Yeah, what Chris said. Assuming you're trying to lower the sound, not alter it, your muting needs to occur before the first opening "in the pipe."

I've seen a product for Clarinet Muting that most who tried it report here was a hunk a junk. Here's a version on one:

Note: putting an "11" strength reed on your setup likely will do the same thing.

There is a device for sax muting that is essential a case for the sax with curtains on the sides for you to stick your hands in. I think the neck strap attaches to the case, and the inside of the case to the sax.

I once saw a similar product from the Far East that was a long suitcase like looking thing for the clarinet.

These things create back pressure I imagine. The question is how much.
