Chicago stinger a pointed annoyance, that's a good thing!
I first came across this mute when one of my trumpet playing colleagues showed up with one. Now, I play a lot of cartoon music and MY GOD DID I NEED THIS! I immediately ordered one. This is everything my old Buzz-Wow is not. Namely, it works! It's like an angry flock of bees chasing you into a lake... just like Daffy Duck! If you play music that needs as many strange noises as possible - or you just want to annoy your friends - this mute is a must!
