Tom Crown on mute materials and sounds:
Different types of metal definitely affect the mute’s tone quality and response, much as different metals used in a bell affect a trumpet’s tone quality and response. It is very difficult to describe what these differences are, however. One person’s “dark” is another person’s “dead”; another person’s “bright” is someone else’s “tinny.” To me, the Tom Crown all-aluminium straight mute is bright, the brass-end mute less bright or somewhat dead, and the copper-end or the all-copper mute is dark.
About Tom Crown
Tom Crown has been making mutes since 1969 having been inspired by a mute that Adolph Herseth used on the D trumpet. With help and feedback from colleagues in the Lyric Opera Orchestra and the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, he developed other trumpet mutes, piccolo trumpet mutes, tenor and bass trombone mutes and a French horn mute.
