Re: Using a Harmon mute on a clarinet?

I use e-Sax mutes for alto and tenor and they're excellent in they allow you to play at full volume so you can really work on your tone, but you can still hear the telly and not disturb your neighbours whilst practicing.

It's only the lowest note that suffers with the sax ones - one main issue is they do get a bit warm after a while and access to the side keys is a bit restricted. I've also found I have to use a slightly harder reed when using these mutes.

I definitely wouldn't mind one that works for clarinet, oboe and soprano sax.
