Denis Wick straight mute trumpet brass bottom

The Denis Wick straight mute trumpet brass bottom (DW5504B) is heavier than the regular aluminium version of this mute and produces a more brilliant sound. Very useful for its wonderful projection in the symphony orchestra, it produces a harder-edged sound in fortissimos than the regular aluminium mute. Also great for pit playing (both in operas and musicals) and in big bands if a strident muted sound is needed. It has all the all-round versatility of the DW5504 but with extra punch.

“The Denis Wick brass-bottomed mute is a versatile straight mute perfectly suited to both jazz and orchestral work. Perfect intonation and a brilliant sound distinguish this mute from its competitors.” ~ Byron Wallen
