Tenor Trombone Straight Mute

Make a bold sonic and visual statement with the Hawkins Mutes Tenor Trombone Straight Mute—an expertly engineered tool for trombonists seeking both performance and character.

With a tonal quality that lies beautifully between the warmth of traditional fibre mutes and the brilliance of metallic models, this mute opens up a new sound palette for soloists and section players alike. Whether you’re blending seamlessly within an ensemble or cutting through for a solo passage, this mute delivers a fresh, distinctive voice that brings new colour to your playing.

At just 220g, the mute is lightweight yet incredibly robust. Crafted from durable, undentable materials, it stands up to the rigours of professional use without compromising tone or responsiveness. The design is not only acoustically advanced but ergonomically shaped for an easy, secure grip—especially appreciated during quick mute changes.

The angled high-density corks are another thoughtful touch, reducing lateral stress when inserting the mute while providing a firm, non-slip fit. This ensures the mute seats securely in the bell without damage or excessive pressure—enhancing both longevity and stability.

One of the standout qualities of the Hawkins tenor trombone mute is its ease of blowing. Players often comment it feels like playing without a mute at all—free-blowing, perfectly in tune, and naturally responsive across the entire range of the instrument. Problem notes are eliminated by design, not by chance.

With its impeccable intonation, effortless response, and unique tonal voice, this mute is guaranteed to delight conductors, blend beautifully within your section, and offer unmistakable clarity to your sound. From rehearsal to performance, it’s a mute you’ll reach for again and again.
