Trumpet Mute Holder by tomjuggles

Last crawled date: 3 years, 1 month ago

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.
I used these, https://www.obi.de/spannwerkzeuge/lux-leimklemmen-4-teilig-25-mm-classic/p/5273628
Bonus: I designed a little tray.
That uses a 3d printed base onto which I simply glued an Aluminium profile and spraypainted it black. 2component epoxy resin works like a charm.
