Ion Balu Tuba Straight Mute XL

Item Details

This is a wood and fiberglass mute for large tubas made by Ion Balu (yawn ball-oo).  It features nine foam blocks in three sizes that attach with Velcro-style material.  This way you can ensure a custom fit for your tuba.

This XL model fits tubas much larger than average.  I tried to fit this in a Miraphone 191 and the XL mute is too large.  I think the 191 and most large tubas prefer the L size.  This Balu XL size mute fits better in a MW Fafner, or 6/4 York-style tuba.

Available in several colors.  I usually stock the amber, which matches the inside of Disney Hall in DTLA.
