The Silent Mute Tray: an update

As we’ve said on many occasions, PartTimeMusician.com is run by our family on behalf of the greater Part-Time Musician (PTM) family. We consider this an extension of your trust, and we take it very seriously…even in terms of whom we accept as advertisers.

One of our first PTM advertisers, Roger PetroRoy of Trumpeter’s Ink, is the kind of person you feel privileged to have met. Roger and I struck up more than a “business deal” when I ordered my first Silent Mute Tray; we began a friendship. As much as I love his Mute Tray – and I’ve used several over the years and know of none better – Roger is the icing on the cake: and he’s a member of (your) PTM family!

Roger continues to innovate, developing new “tools and toys” for brass players and providing superior value to those of us on the other end of the transaction. As such, he’s offering FREE SHIPPING ON ALL ORDERS between now December 29th! If you’ve been thinking about getting the best mute tray on the market, doing so now can save you some serious jack.

Lest anyone think I might be doing this for selfish reasons, let me set the record straight. Roger does advertise here, but the rate doesn’t change regardless of how many Mute Trays ship to satisfied customers. This notice is strictly to pass along the good news to you and won’t affect my Christmas one bit…just yours and Roger’s. Consider it my gift to you!

Along those lines, if anyone knows of a good deal they’d like to share with the rest of the PTM family, please drop us a line and we’ll pass it along! Hey, we all like a good deal… 

Keep playing,
Mark

The man behind the mute tray

I was so impressed with the look of Roger PetroRoy’s Silent Mute Tray™ that I had to have one…and once I tried it, I had to write about it. Not only did the tray eliminate a problem that had irritated me for years, but I found Roger to be a genuinely nice guy. He’s since become an advertiser here at PartTimeMusician.com, and we’re glad to have him on board.

Late last week, Roger sent me a clipping from a local newspaper. It tells a bit more about Roger and includes a picture of him with the Silent Mute Tray (and PartTimeMusician.com got an honorable mention!). Through the years, Roger has been a dedicated PTM, just like you and me…and now, he has given the larger community of musicians something more than “just” his music: he’s given them a tool to help them with their music.

Hats off to Roger. May he continue to play, to invent, and to share his insights with the rest of us. And any other PTMs out there who are struggling with a problem and think they may have a solution, take note: you could be the next person to “find a need and fill it”. By all means, go for it…and know that the rest of us are cheering you on!

Keep playing,
Mark
