Professional Bb trumpet straight mute creates an exciting and vibrant new sound colour for orchestral and jazz muted trumpet. It has a clarion tone placed somewhere between a copper mute and a fibre mute. It’s ideal for situations where a less metallic ‘con sord’ timbre is called for, or general use. The design eliminates standing wave reflection, resulting in cleaner notes, better tuning, and easier playing across the entire instrument range. The anatomical corks put less lateral strain on the corks during insertion and removal. High-density cork aids bell grip and longevity.

- Easy to play

Paul Mayes (London Symphony Orchestra, Royal Opera House):
“Very, very impressed with them, congratulations on that. I was surprised, actually – I don’t know why – but I think the shape of them, I thought, obviously aesthetically, they’re very pleasing to look at, but [I’m] so impressed with the performance of them, especially the consistency in the tuning across the range. So well done with that, it’s fantastic… everything still clicks in. I mean, it’s like playing without the mute in, really, as far as the response goes.”
Ethan Cogswell –
Simply incredible! I was gifted this as part of the bundle a little over a year ago and I can confidently say I won’t use any other straight mute. The tone, the pitch, the response, and especially the weight all make the “London” feel like the only mute for me.
