FS: Vintage Shastock Straight (or Part Cup?) Trombone Mute

When I bought an Olds Ambassador A-20, the one with the F-attachment, this mute was included. I already have a bunch of mutes and have no need for this one. I put the question mark part in the title because according to the slope of the mute, it might be a cup mute without the cup part. There is no label on it, so I cannot tell for sure. However, I am certain it is a Shastock mute based on its design, especially with the small oval corks. The mute is fairly old, so there are various scratches throughout, with some paint that has chipped off, but there are no major dents. There also are no cracks. I tested this mute on some of my trombones, and it works great. It is also very light, so your trombone will not be nose-heavy when having it in the bell. I also have this mute selling on eBay, but for forum members I can let this go for $25 shipped CONUS. International people will have to cover shipping charges.

I think your price is a bit high for this.

I bought a few of these in the past and have the metal cup attachment that fits on. It's actually a pretty lousy cup mute and won't blend well with a section of aluminum mutes or fiber mutes.

Big problem with the Tone Color mutes is that wooden bottom. Sometimes it falls out and is a pain to reinstall.

Good luck selling it, but that's way too much money.

Thanks for the input BGuttman. I remembered a while back I sold a Shastock trumpet mute for $60, but that was the coveted solotone. I lowered the price.

Price drop to $20 shipped to CONUS. If international shipping is less than $10, I'll cover it.
