Bremner Ssshhh Practice
Mute
|
New from Australia is this very compact plastic practice
mute that looks like a cleaner and cheaper version of the
Wallace mute. Black with grey trim and cloth bag, it is very
soft in volume, very light, only sticks out a small amount
beyond the bell rim, so it may fit inside the horn inside some
cases. Blows openly and gives good feedback of sound, nice low
range, definitely a winner. |

Trumcor Mutes
Based on the old Ted Griffith and Aulos designs, these
finely made fiber mutes are pricey, but are considered to be
top of the line. From the catalog:TrumCor mutes are carefully
hand-crafted with wood and a specially formulated resonant
fiber material. They create a muted tone that is vibrant,
warm and responsive. These mutes are durable, and the wide
selection of sizes ensures a proper fit and excellent
intonation. TrumCor mutes produce a beautiful sound, and at
the same time preserve the unique timbre of the horn in all
registers and at all dynamics.
