Trumpet bucket mute that provides a truly distinctive sound – deeply haunting and slightly hollow – great for the classic big bands. Its soft, muffled tones add tremendous dimension and its unique straight shape allows for quicker transitions. It is made of lightweight spun aluminium and has been tested to perform evenly in all registers, creating an exciting tonal quality that results in near-perfect intonation. It also features neoprene-enhanced composite cork pads that provide extra durability. The result is a more pliable cork that grips well and does not dry out, become brittle or break off so it lasts longer while easily accommodating fine adjustments for a perfect fit.
