Hawkins Mutes Straight Mute Trumpet

Hawkins Mutes Bb/C – Orchestral Straight Mute for trumpet; by combining computer-design with years of playing experience, these mutes achieve all three, all within an aesthetically pleasing package: 1. produce a beautiful sound, 2.play in tune across the range with no ‘problem’ notes, and 3. are easy to play; with a clarion tone placed somewhere between a copper mute and a fibre mute, this trumpet straight mute creates an exciting and vibrant new sound colour for orchestral muted trumpet; it’s ideal for situations where a less metallic ‘con sord’ timbre is called for, or general use; the design eliminates standing wave reflection, resulting in cleaner notes, better tuning, and easier playing across the entire instrument range
