Bobby Shew "The Soloist"
 |
Trumpeters who have shied away from the thin, "tin-like" sound of a
regular Harmon mute now have an opportunity to hear and experience a
warmer, darker Harmon sound that is designed specifically for
soloists. The mute maintains this warmth while still generating a
centered sound with "sizzle" that projects easily when pushed,
thanks to the materials used in making the mute, as well as the
physical features and design. The mute features a stem that is
soldered in a fixed position in order to get the proper sound
qualities for a good solo sound. |
