Denis Wick 5531 Adjustable Cup Mute for Bb Cornet or Trumpet, Black Polyester Coated Aluminium

As a trumpet player, I am very pleased with this product. It arrived only two days after I ordered it and seems to be a high quility trumpet mute. it fits securely in to the trumpet and has cork strips to stop the bell of the trumpet becoming damaged. it quite significantly reduces the amount of noise and gives the trumpet a sharper sound. it, as in the description, responds excellently to high notes and loud notes of different pitches. i personally bought it due to the low price but i have been very pleased that i bought it as it is excellent product at a reasonably low price.

I bought this to keep my trumpet down a bit, but where it really shines is its tone. This mute does provide a significant reduction in low-end volume, but it also sounds absolutely great! I've found myself using this more for tone than for noise reduction and, in my opinion, that is where it really shines. It's a lovely piece of kit, and more useful than I could have imagined before purchasing. If you want to keep your volume right down for practicing, maybe get a Shhmute instead, but this is a beast for practice and performance alike!

Very good quality, nice sound, simply the best mute I can find, and at a fairly reasonable price. The silver part (cup) detaches, and leaves a straight mute, or when attached, a cup mute. This is good - two for one. The cork parts are good, and do not leave marks, or anything like that, overall it is a very nice bit of kit, essential for any quality trumpeter! (I play Yamaha 4335G)

Really pleased with this mute. Gives a great tone. After a couple of weeks the stem became too loose to stay in (very common with this kind of mute). A small strip of gaffa up the side fixed it.

You can get a similar effect using a 99p sink plunger from the hardware stall at the market, but this one looks a lot more acceptable sat on the piano in the living room. If you don't know what it does there are a few videos on youtube, just search for 'plunger mute'. Without needing any change in technique at all it can give a nice rich 'growl' to your blues playing, very satisfying. It's very well made, but a bit pricey so you might want to try the sink plunger first to see if it's the effect you're after.

We bought this for my son for his birthday. It almost makes the cornet sound like a scratchy vinyl recording. It's a great effect. If you're not sure how it will sound, listen to the theme from Disney's Up.

The DW5504B brass-end straight mute is a high quality tuned item, which retains the warm sound of the Cornet, also very good for practising the full loud sound. It's worth the price.

Usual reliable cost effective Dennis wick equipment. Not the best but not expensive either and does the job, prob as good as other harmons mutes without the price tag. Best thing is the cork sticks it in the bell comprehensively and replacement corks are available.

軽く凹みやすいので心配でしたが、完全な状態で届きました。

Das teil hab ich am 15. Februar mir selber zum Genurtstag geschenkt und kann mich seit dem nicht beklagen! Ich spiele / Übe jeden Tag an meiner Trompete. Es passt auch perfet in meine Kornett Bb Trompete. Es macht auch das was es soll. Die Lautstärke dämmen und Trotzdem richtig spielen können. Damit meine ich die Töne kommen nicht anders raus! Verdiente 5 Sterne.

Ha llegado rápido y la calidad es muy buena. Estoy muy contenta!!

Hab zwar keinen direkten Vergleich, da das mein erster Dämpfer ist aber ich hatte mich vorher im Internet über diesen Dämpfer schlau gemacht und er entspricht allen meinen Erwartungen. Die Verarbeitung ist sehr gut, der Dämpfer hält bombig in der Trompete und - was ich besonders praktisch finde - der Cup lässt sich bewegen. Dadurch kann der Däpfer komplett geschlossen als Cup benutzt werden (z.B. zum Üben) aber auch als Spiel-Dämpfer, der die Töne wie bei einem Staight-Dämpfer üblich nur leicht verfremdet - ein Effekt der ja oft erwünscht ist. Ich kann den Dämpfer auf jeden Fall vorbehaltlos weiterempfehlen, er ist sein Geld wert.

Costa un po' ma poi non la si cambia più perché é ottima, ho provato modelli economici ma questa li batte tutti. Non sono un trombettista esperto, anzi... ma ho orecchio per capire quando un prodotto é valido. La funzione di questa sordina é quella di creare un bel suono metallico da jazz club attenuando un poco la potenza sonora dello strumento. Aiuta a suonare in casa senza disturbare troppo i vicini ma il suo scopo non é questo, esistono sordine specifiche nell'abbattere il suono. A me piace e la consiglio per una magica sonorità. Ho preso anche il modello Practice di colore nero ed é ottima. É fatta di metallo verniciato, credo alluminio, e ha due fori laterali per lo sfiato dell'aria. Abbatte il suono in modo interessante mantenendo un tono ovattato e ben percepibile mentre si suona. La consiglio vivamente per chi vuole suonare senza disturbare vicini o anche famigliari nelle stanze attigue. Questa é una vera sordina per pratica, a differenza della straight classica, e non va bene se usata in gruppo, appunto per il suono ridotto. In sintesi sono tutte ottime e i soldi sono ben spesi.
