    Hoping for a speedy reply since the 2+1 offer ends soon. I'm writing for chamber orchestra and I need a good trumpet or two and trombone. I already own Chamber Orchestra and Tenor Sax.

    I'm trying to decide between getting individual instruments and SE2 Brass.

    1. Is the Bb Mute Trumpet a simple straight mute?

    2. I can't really tell from the demos... is the Muted C Trumpet more of a Harmon mute or is it a straight mute like the Bb Muted Trumpet?

    3. What articulations in the SE2 Brass are -missing- relative to the Muted C Trumpet?

    4. If I get the SE 2 Brass lib, the 2+1 discount does -not- apply, correct?

    5. I started a shopping cart for the Muted C Trumpet and the Muted Bb Trumpet. The MyVSL lists a 'Special Edition Discount' for each, but when I get to Checkout, I see no discount. Why? Or is that discount something else?

    Thanks in advance!

    Hello JC,

     Thank you for your interest in additional products of the Vienna Symphonic LIbrary!

     "1. Is the Bb Mute Trumpet a simple straight mute?"

     ==> Yes.

     "2. I can't really tell from the demos... is the Muted C Trumpet more of a Harmon mute or is it a straight mute like the Bb Muted Trumpet?"

    ==> We've also used a straight mute. For a perfect sound we've used additional damping items to avoid unwanted air noise.

    "3. What articulations in the SE2 Brass are -missing- relative to the Muted C Trumpet?"

    ==> I've sended the respective maunals to you per email.

    "4. If I get the SE 2 Brass lib, the 2+1 discount does -not- apply, correct?"

    ==> Yes.

    "5. I started a shopping cart for the Muted C Trumpet and the Muted Bb Trumpet. The MyVSL lists a 'Special Edition Discount' for each, but when I get to Checkout, I see no discount. Why? Or is that discount something else?"

    ==> You'd have to add all products, including the ones you'd like to receive for free, to your basket.

    I hope that helps!

    Best, Michael Hula
