Denis Wick Aluminium Euphonium Straight Mute

The Denis Wick Aluminium Euphonium Straight Mute was originally designed for the best-selling Besson Sovereign euphonium and it has been a favourite mute for euphonium players ever since. Steven Mead uses it for the majority of the solo works, and it is the mute of choice for all those that need a mute capable of a real metallic sound (especially works like the Hallows Concerto by Rolf Rudin and Martin Ellerby’s Euphonium Concerto). Played strongly, this mute is capable of incredible telling projection with an even sound through the range, including the very highest notes. There is no other euphonium mute with this unique tone colour and that has really minimal resistance.

As an alternative consider the  Denis Wick Wooden Euphonium Straight Mute  designed to provide modern euphonium players with a mute which sounds great, even at the quietest of dynamics. This mute will carry on working even at the end of an extreme diminuendo – it will allow the tone to drop almost nothing. Denis Wick has achieved this by a unique construction method which uses beautiful wood, with all its natural attributes of strength and resonance, and a very hard inner lining, made of a hi-tech modern material, which gives rigidity and enhances the acoustic properties of the mute.
