Excellent sound, less resistance, better intonation Jan 02, 2010
By Hepcat Vince
I evaluated the Jo-Ral Copper Bubble mute along side of the Harmon brand Copper Wah-Wah (or harmon mute). I use the mutes in a jazz quartet as well as a larger 7 piece jazz group; playing everything from jump blues, jazz, soul, r & b, and funk.
What's the same:
Both are heavy copper.
Both have a nice traditional harmon mute 'bite' and edge to the sound. I would categorize the Harmon is 'crisp', while the Jo-Ral is 'dark.'
Both are made very well.
What's the difference:
The Jo-Ral plays with better intonation throughout the range of the horn; the Harmon is much more sharp in the lower range.
The Jo-Ral plays with much less resistance than the Harmon. This is a major design difference in the mutes--the Jo-Ral is rounded, while the Harmon is more angular. Over the longer gigs, this can make a difference. For me, I'd rather have the equipment work 'for' me than not.
The Jo-Ral is bare copper, while the Harmon is clearcoated. Over time, the Jo-Ral will tarnish, while the Harmon holds its lustre. If this is important to you, get a can of Testors Clear Coat and spray it with 1 or 2 light coats to preserve the finish. If you use a heavy layers, it will affect the sound.
Summary: Both mutes are made well and have a nice sound. I rate the Jo-Ral higher for better intonation, and less resistance while preserving an authentic feel.
If you want a brighter sound #along with less resistance, and good intonation#, go for the aluminum version.

Sounds great Feb 07, 2011
By Bob
I've owned an aluminum Jo-Ral bubble mute for a long time and wanted to replace it as it was pretty beat up. I shopped around for a new harmon trying out the Charles Davis copper and the Jo Ral copper. There was no question in my mind and the minds of the rest of the guys in my big band tpt section that the JR copper was the best sounding when I played the Davis, my old JR aluminum and the new JR copper. The difference in sound to the aluminum version was slightly darker but still much brighter than the Davis. it doesn't get anywhere near the dark "Miles" sound in case the impression is that it's THAT dark. it's not. I'm a lead player and use it in a big band setting as well as for shows. The intonation is very good and you can go down to low F# with ease and play easily around high C because it's not very restrictive.
As far as people complaining about the weight, don't listen. Yes, it's heavier but come on, if you can't handle 4 extra ounces then maybe you should hit the gym. It's not like it's in your bell for long periods of time anyway. I also don't understand why people say it falls out of your bell because of the weight either. I use it every time I play and it's never come out once. This must be user issues because it's certainly not the fault of the mute.
Anyway, this is a great mute and I'm glad I bought it. I got it mid January 2011 for $51 here on Amazon. You shouldn't have to pay much more than this.

Simply the best! Feb 15, 2009
By Bob DUMON
"Bob D."
Yeah, this mute is expensive, and it is also heavy as hell, but if you want that true, rich biting sound you expect from a bubble mute this is the champ! I've had mine for years, it's dented from multiple drops, and it still sounds terrific. If you can possibly afford it, this is the one to buy!

Awesome Oct 03, 2009
By Marques L. Crews
I've owned this mute for eight years and I have never regretted the decision to buy it. Despite all the dings from playing late night gigs or dropping it in high school in parking lots of field shows, I still get compliments about the rich tone of this mute. It really sounds nice stem out, right on the mic (you get those warm lows without sounding too boomy or losing too much definition in your attack). I would only replace this mute with another of the same exact model.

The event was simply billed as "Willie Nelson Sings the Blues," but the historic two-night stand on January 12 and 13, 2007 at Jazz at Lincoln Center was far more than that. Call it a summit meeting between two American icons, Willie Nelson & Wynton Marsalis, two of the most significant figures in modern-day country and jazz, who discovered common ground in their love for jazz standards and the blues. Their performance stirred the sounds of New Orleans, Nashville, Austin and New York City into a brilliantly programmed mix that was equal parts down-home and cosmopolitan, with plenty of swing and just a touch of melancholy. To say that these shows were a hot ticket would be an understatement. Luckily, the tapes were rolling and the results of this unique collaboration now constitute the Blue Note album Two Men With The Blues for everyone who couldn't cram into The Allen Room.
