Denis Wick DW5504 trumpet straight mute - made from high purity spun aluminium for excellent intonation. This is perhaps the most successful and most copied trumpet mute ever.
The hand-spun aluminium is both light and extremely resonant. Other manufacturing techniques produce mutes, which are not as hard. Our handcrafting produce a mute where the metal is 'work-hardened' making it both light and very resonant. This makes it free blowing and extremely responsive and the choice of the most demanding musicians. Real cork is used to produce a snug fit in the bell of the instrument.
