Overall mutes are made to order; your order will ship in 4 to 6 weeks. (But we have a very small inventory: current inventory includes Tuxedo Oak and Cherry and Stealth Cherry.
Adjustable straight mute. Available in “tuxedo” (black and white) or “stealth” (black).
Sound board options include: Oak, Cherry, African Black Limba, and Bolivian Rosewood.
Oak
Ideal for players using Geyer wrap horns or other smaller-throated designs. The Oak has a firm, responsive quality that helps open up the overtone series, enhancing resonance, projection, and in all ranges as well as dynamics—especially in horns that tend to play tight or centered. It gives these instruments a more expansive, vibrant sound without losing clarity.
Cherry
Best suited for Kruspe wrap horns and other medium-to-large bore instruments. The Cherry board provides a slightly softer, warmer tonal response that blends beautifully with naturally open horns. It adds cohesion and warmth while still preserving articulation and power across the full register of the instrument also providing clarity of articulation through all dynamics.
African Black Limba
Described by players as the best of both worlds between Oak and Cherry, Limba provides warmth and resonance while keeping projection crisp and direct. On smaller-throated instruments, it helps round out the tone; on larger horns, it provides balance without losing character. A versatile all-rounder.
Bolivian Rosewood
Dense and focused, Bolivian Rosewood gives the mute a highly resonant and direct tone. It offers strong projection, enhanced articulation, and a darker color. Especially suited for players wanting power and punch without sacrificing nuance. A great option for symphonic and recording work.
