Denis Wick Straight Mute for Trumpet or Cornet, 5504 - Hand-Spun Aluminum Mute with Natural Cork - Brilliant Tone, Reliable Intonation & Tight-Bell Fit for Performance - 6.1 x 3.4 x 3.4 In, 2.26 oz

This delivers the muted sound my daughter needed and wanted. It’s got a slight tinny sound to it. Everything is in great condition without dents. It fits in her Bach trumpet case

Well-made, high quality, matches my Denis Wick straight mute.

The Denis Wick mute is awesome became it be adjusted so you can hear the sound better than a mute the just kills the sound

Like all Denis Wick products, this one is also excellent with perfect sound reduction.

It works as expected, but IMO, it over priced. In hindsight, I probably would have purchased a less expensive model and used the extra money for a second kind of mute.

First, this is a practice mute. Not a performance mute. It sole purpose is to quite your horn so you can play full force and not blast out the neighbors. I would say that you get probably 15% normal volume when you use this mute. So just practicing normal tones with a closed bedroom door between you and the parents should keep the noise away from them so they don't have to turn up the TV volume. lol Secondly, there is a small resistance to your playing. It is very slight but you can feel it at full volume. Think of it as a runner wearing weights during his practice and then when he takes the weights of he can run even faster. The bit of resistance is a good thing to warmup with or even do your full practice with because when you take the mute out Ba da der der! It feels like you just got a second wind. With frequent use during practice I can see this strengthening my lung and playing power. Good investment for a student player that is for sure.

Why did you pick this product vs others?: I previously had the Protec cup mute but the bottom of the mute kept twisting, making it difficult to put the mute in place in the bell and would cause buzzing. The Denis Wick cup mute is solid and helps me produce a great sound.

This is one of the things my teenage son said he wanted for his recently purchased new used professional trumpet. He has solos with the Sr trumpet player this year, which is unheard to for a lower classman at this school, and is preparing to take over the Sr trumpet spotlight next year. This is something he wanted to practice and get good enough with that his band director will incorporate into spring concert competitions this season (covid pending allowance of the competitions) or next year. We purchased this particular item under advisement of his band director whose instrument of choice is the trumpet as well. This is the first mute my son has had and the first time he just played around with it playing his solo material from marching season the sound quality was awesome. I'm not a musician but I have used music as a form of therapy since I was in HS marching band myself and just playing around with this mute the quality of the sound and pitch sounded like what you would hear from a professional live band gig. The price runs about what it does on other websites, all being significantly less than what the nearest local shop sells them for. We will go with this particular brand when my trumpet player wants to add to his variety of tools to use in his trumpet playing and potential performances.

軽く凹みやすいので心配でしたが、完全な状態で届きました。

Das teil hab ich am 15. Februar mir selber zum Genurtstag geschenkt und kann mich seit dem nicht beklagen! Ich spiele / Übe jeden Tag an meiner Trompete. Es passt auch perfet in meine Kornett Bb Trompete. Es macht auch das was es soll. Die Lautstärke dämmen und Trotzdem richtig spielen können. Damit meine ich die Töne kommen nicht anders raus! Verdiente 5 Sterne.

Ha llegado rápido y la calidad es muy buena. Estoy muy contenta!!

As a trumpet player, I am very pleased with this product. It arrived only two days after I ordered it and seems to be a high quility trumpet mute. it fits securely in to the trumpet and has cork strips to stop the bell of the trumpet becoming damaged. it quite significantly reduces the amount of noise and gives the trumpet a sharper sound. it, as in the description, responds excellently to high notes and loud notes of different pitches. i personally bought it due to the low price but i have been very pleased that i bought it as it is excellent product at a reasonably low price.

Plastic, lightweight, holds tuning well. Sound is good cup mute sound, crisp. Not much to complain. Also nicely priced!
