Hawkins Bb/C Trumpet/Cornet Practice Mute

SKU: 200635

The Hawkins Mutes Trumpet Practice Mute. Plays in tune, and free-blowing whilst still being whisper-quiet. What more do you want from your practice mute?? “The practice mute is an essential part of my life as I live (and teach) in my apartment sometimes. This is the first and only practice mute I’ve ever blown that blows the same intonation as when I’m open. The resistance is also very comfortable, and when I play open again I feel really good with no adjustment. I don’t know how you did it Tony but it’s changed my playing life!” Gerard Presencer

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.
