Features
Lightweight and Compact
The new Silent Brass Pickup Mute is designed to be significantly smaller and lighter than previous models to improve the balance when playing, yet it offers approximately the same muting efficiency along with stable pitch over a wide range and unrestricted breath flow.
Adjustable Pitch and Playing Feel
An adjustable rod allows the position of the mute head to be raised or lowered inside the bell while playing. This gives you the ability to customize the feel and the pitch to find the perfect fit for your own instrument and playing style. In addition, this allows the mute to be adjusted for a wide range of bell sizes.
Disassemble to Compact Size
The disassembled mute body halves can be stacked for compact storage.
*Do not stand the instrument on its bell when the mute is installed.
