Jason, you got a wondrous trombone-like sound using a cupped-glass at Saint Aignan at the Friday night warm-up you and New Blood played at the bar (Cafe du Commerce?) The very tight seal you made with your hands and your control of the muting effect was really remarkable. I've used cups (soda-cups and cans and whiskey glasses and coffee-cups and sugar bowls, etc.) since 1970, but more as a resonator than as a mute. I will try your technique combining those two aspects, but you seem to have mastered it.

-Dave Fertig

ps: As for volume, yeah, you're rightfully loud and proud, but you ain't inflicting pain with your loudness, nor did I see you or your band need to wear earplugs.

pps: Congratulations on quitting smoking!?

I'm so searching for the right tin cup...and I'm always bringing harps into
pawn shops and stealing glasses from bars etc...I'm never satisfied with any
of them for very long..certain glasses seem to work better for certain keys.
I like the cheap,thin aluminum coment stated earlier I sort of look for that
in glass as well....I want a deep resonator and opening on the top that's
not to thin or too wide etc....I generally ask the bar for a whiskey glass.
