In an earlier post, (The Perfect “Free” Mute Bag) I mentioned the benefits of a beautiful bag which could be used to protect your metal mutes. The bag comes from Crown Royal & Company and can be secured free of charge from anyone involved with the sale or distribution of this fine product.
Today, I made use of the same bag to solve a situation in a show which required a very somber trumpet rendition of the Marines Hymn. At a very sad and sensitive scene in the show, the trumpet has an almost unaccompanied solo playing the familiar service hymn and as I searched my arsenal of mutes, the bag shouted to me, “Try me, Try me”, and I obligingly decided to give the little bag a shot at show biz. As I slipped the bag over my bell and secured it with its convenient draw strings, the looks for my fellow musicians was comical.
After performing the solo, I was convinced that my little bag buddy covering my bell was destined for stardom in showbiz.
I strongly suggest that you collect a couple of these versatile bags for you trumpet case for they are free and do as well as any on the market today.
Oh, did I mention that they are FREE?
Hi there,
I am writing from Canadian Business Magazine in Toronto, and I am interested in using one of your images for a video we are doing. We are doing a top 10 type deal with the Crown Royal bag on how to use it in multiple ways. We love your idea of repurposing the bag into a instrument protector and would love to use the photo posted on your website.
Let me know if this is something you would be interested in!
I am flattered! Let me know if I can be of help to you on this project.
