I play the concert notes F3, Bb3, Eb4, Ab4, Db5, Gb5, B5 in succession on a Bb trumpet with harmon mute inserted, with stem fully inserted into the mute. I then play a short jazz-ish excerpt (that I had previously improvised) to demonstrate the character of the tone. The sound was amplified but not processed in any other way.
