What are your source suggestions for the steel and brass mutes? I’m struggling with practicing oltime with a mute right now but it’s a rubber one. I really hate the way the strings sound and respond with the mute, especially the A string for some reason, but I live in an apartment so I feel really shy playing at full volume. I try to play during the day when people are at work but it’s still a bit nerve wracking.
Is something like the Mudder metal mute what you’re talking about when you say a “solid” metal?
