Hawkins Bb/C Trumpet/Cornet Cup Mute

SKU: 200634

Harking back to the traditional cup mutes of the mid-20th century but with a cool modern twist, this non-adjustable cup mute is the perfect complement to your mute line-up. The secure tuning across the range comes as standard, but with the added convenience of having the cup set in position, for speedy changes. Adjust the corks so the cup sits snug to the bell, then the sound becomes dark, round, and throaty – it’s a beauty!

Hawkins demanded three things from their mutes: that they,

1. produce a beautiful sound,

2. play in tune across the range with no ‘problem’ notes, and

3. are easy to play.

By combining computer-design with years of playing experience, our mutes achieve all three, all within an aesthetically pleasing package.

The sound could be described as rounder, darker, and smoother than aluminium mutes, with a full resonance, and fewer nasal or metallic overtones (less ‘zingy’).

They include patent-applied-for features that eliminate any standing waves, thereby removing any problematic notes, and aiding tuning across the whole range of the instrument.

They slot very easily, better even than the open horn in some cases, and are extremely free-blowing.
