Professional Straight Mute Berlin for Bb Rotary Trumpets.
This Bb rotary straight mute still enjoys the fantastic sound and playability of the original “London” straight mute but with some subtle tweaks. It is a little more free-blowing, and more open in the lower registers. It also plays a little louder.
It’s a variation on an established theme and is ideal for second trumpet players who want easier volume in the lower registers. Or you might just prefer its sound for general playing. As per the London, this faceted design eliminates standing waves, resulting in cleaner notes, better tuning, and easier playing across the entire instrument range. The convex base prevents reflected sound from interfering with your tone. This model is ideally suited for rotary trumpet players, that have a wider-throated bell. But when used on a normal non-rotary Bb trumpet it also offers a bold new open sound. The sound in this case has a touch more ‘trumpet’ / a touch less ‘mute’.
Lucienne Renaudin Vary (International Trumpet Soloist) on the Professional straight mute Berlin:
“I really really love it. It’s so great and comfortable, you can play with a huge range of dynamics. I love the shape and the look of them, and the fact that you can still play with a warm sound. And when you have to play some soft melodies, it’s really fluid. It’s really precise – I’m so impressed! It’s a ‘yes’!”
