A mishap with a balcony or stairwell would be just as effective and easier to pass off as an accident.

Are metric mutes more accurate than Imperial mutes?

No, but they are more available in Europe and Asia...
I'd love a 20 lb one as opposed to an 8 Kg. (it's slightly heavier).

No, but the Imperial "Storm Trooper" models are everywhere!

The trombone players keep throwing the wooden handle away. And then the mute’s no good.

I've had the same woodwind mute for 50 years. I've changed the head once and the handle twice, though...

Trumpet and lump hammer. Useful for all strings, woodwinds, annoying trumpet players, tuba players who play out of tune, bass trombonists who insist on playing everything down one octave…

Just
ONE octave?
If it's worth doing, it's worth overdoing!

Has there ever been a trumpoot player who isn't annoying?
