Greetings - While I have not tried Kowalchuk's mutes on the passage in Villanelle, I've used four or five of them for normal orchestra playing and they have played freely throught the range of the horn. The low range is especially easy to project. As with other mutes, fine tuning of the sound and pitch can be done by filing or sanding the corks as well as with the internal tuning mechanism.
