Hawkins Flugel Straight Mute – Precision Tone for Modern Flugelhorn
The Hawkins Flugel Straight Mute is engineered specifically for flugelhorn players who demand rich tone, stable intonation, and effortless response. Designed to enhance the natural warmth of the instrument rather than restrict it, this lightweight flugelhorn straight mute delivers a smooth, resonant sound across the full dynamic range — from delicate pianissimo passages to confident, projecting fortissimo lines.
Unlike generic brass mutes adapted for flugelhorn, the Hawkins Flugel Straight Mute is acoustically balanced for accurate tuning and consistent pitch stability. Players experience minimal resistance, secure slotting, and a centred feel that maintains the instrument’s characteristic mellow core. Whether performing in brass band, jazz ensemble, studio recording, or orchestral settings, this mute provides reliable tonal colour without sacrificing playability.
Constructed from advanced thermoplastic materials, the Hawkins design is both lightweight and highly durable. The robust structure resists dents and deformation, ensuring long-term reliability even under demanding professional use. Its carefully engineered fit allows for quick insertion and removal while maintaining a secure seal in the bell.
Ideal for students, advancing players, and seasoned professionals alike, the Hawkins Flugel Straight Mute offers precision engineering with practical performance benefits. The result is a flugelhorn mute that blends seamlessly, responds instantly, and delivers a consistently full-bodied, controlled sound.
Every Hawkins mute is backed by a 10-year warranty as standard, reflecting our commitment to craftsmanship, innovation, and long-term performance reliability.

Love the sound and the look of this as the intonation is is great! A nice snug fit in the bell and no wrestling to remove it (or squeaks!) with the corks. Best flugel mute around!
