Trumpet Mute Holder

thingiverse

I was unhappy with commercially available trumpet mute holders: the clamping screws take forever to attach and to remove. Solution: design print a trumpet mute holder and fix it to the foldback clamp The diameter I selected works for my straight mute as well as for the cup mute, the plunger and the Harmon mute. Slide a 51 mm clip in the slot. Print the "flexible mute holder"- that includes the lock. The "lock plate" glues to the bottom of the holder. Print one or more "large mute holder" for Harmon mutes or straight mutes. Print a "smaller mute holder" for mutes wih a thin stem. Slide one to three holders in. And just for fun: the "cup" will not only be handy for pencils, glasses etc, but by coincidence has exactly the right diameter for beer cans (or bottles :-) I used https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2683376 and scaled it to fit the 51 mm foldback clips I use. I slip one padding on the clip for normal stand and two- one on each side- for small stands with thin tubes. For very large diameter conductors note stands I included a different clip design which requires to insert a spring clamp (with one leg cut a bit shorter), see the images.
