Tom Crown Trumpet Practice Mute

Description

Tom Crown Trumpet Practice Mute

The Tom Crown trumpet practice mute offers fantastic intonation and an even feel across the range – of course it works equally well in cornet. The resistance is considerably less than many other practice mutes making it a good choice for more extended practice than other, more resistant, mutes.

New design, Tom Crown say:

“Tom Crown Mutes has added two new mutes to its extensive line of metal trumpet mutes, a trumpet practice mute for Bb, C, or D trumpet and a piccolo trumpet practice mute. These mutes are also ideal for very soft muted orchestral or solo passages.

“The new Tom Crown practice mutes, compared with other practice mutes, are very free blowing and very, very soft. This, plus excellent intonation, make them a great addition to the trumpet player’s tools.”

John Hagstrom (Chicago Symphony Orchestra says:

“I have had the good fortune to test Tom Crown’s new practice mutes for the trumpet and the piccolo trumpet. They both offer a responsiveness and evenness of resistance that is as good as any practice mute that I have tried. The best feature, however, is the excellent intonation in all registers. If you have had difficulties finding a practice mute that does not distort your trumpet’s characteristics to the extreme, these mutes are the perfect answer. I will look forward to using them both regularly!”

Also available for piccolo trumpet

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.
