I had to return my Sshmute to the LMS because it would not fit the bell flare of my Yam 620. Has anyone had similar problems?
I like the way the Bremner sounds/plays on my tenor. A bit disappointed.

Re: Sshmute for bass trombone
I have the old style straight cone Sshhmute for bass trombone.
I have to spray the "corks" with water to get it to stay in.
Other than the spontaneously-falling-out problem, it sort-of fits.

Yamaha’s advertising talks about a smaller bell although the bell diameter is 9.5”. Narrower throat perhaps.

I had that one. Sold it and bought the never style.robcat2075 wrote: ↑Sat Jul 24, 2021 8:31 pm I have the old style straight cone Sshhmute for bass trombone.

However, here's a tip to get your version to stay in the bell: take one of those wide rubber band which are used to bundle together a couple heads of broccoli and put it around the midway point of the cork/foam area. After adding this, you shouldn't need water and definitely won't need to push & twist as hard when inserting it.
Anyway, that solved the issue for me. I think I learned about that on this forum actually...but I don't remember who posted it.
