Between the flexibility of the position of the 'corks' and the flexibility of the position of the cup, I was able to find a very satisfying cup sound that blended easily with the rest of the section.
I can make small adjustments for solo playing as well.
This is my new favorite cup mute.
Bought this (even as my career is winding down) in order to match the mute of the other trombone in a production of the opera “Fellow Travelers.” We’re the only brass players in a pit with three winds, string section, and piano. The many muted passages are often exposed and prominent, thus the willingness to buy yet another mute.
I’m so glad I did! If this had been the first straight mute I ever bought, I’d never have bought another. I love the lighter weight, THE HANDLE, the adjustable “corks”, and the rubber feet pads. Sound and response is solid in all ranges. Highest recommendation.
THANK YOU!
Great product, I love the sound and it has a handle if you want for quick mute changes. Just an excellent mute!
