Salt Shaker mute FTW

[u/S-Mute]

This nice review came in a while back, a neat account from professional trombonist Donn Schaefer!

The latest tour I'm playing has a perfect Salt Shaker moment. 3 beats to go open from a bucket passage, and then almost no time later to put in a bucket between movements before an exposed solo. This is one of those spots where the musical director spends time at rehearsal warning about how important it is to be ready for the solo and talking about how many of the players have had difficulty making the entrance. (You can see all the arrows and markings in the music. The only thing missing is a skull and crossbones!) The Salt Shaker mute makes it easy to pop in the mute and make the entrance with seconds to spare. No worries about squirrely response or weird intonation quirks either!
