Denis Wick Trumpet / Cornet Mutes, Cup, Straight, or Practice, You Choose

Description

Denis Wick mutes have set the standard for tone and intonation for many years. They bring an amazing range of tone colors to any brass section and are essential for the performance of a huge range of music, from classical composers such as Mahler and Shostakovich to film scores, avant-garde music, big bands and small group jazz.
The popular trumpet straight mute (DW5504) has set a standard, which has been widely copied but never equaled. The hand crafting of these mutes gives the high-quality aluminum a ‘work-hardened’ quality, which makes for a very resonant product that will give a wonderful fortissimo when it is needed. It also has the best intonation of any trumpet mute available.
Wick adjustable cup mute DFW5531 are among the most versatile cup mutes available on the market today. Whether they are used in solo work, section playing, or with a microphone, the adjustable cup allows the player to create a myriad of sounds without affecting intonation. Made from high quality aluminum, this mute is a must for every brass player.
Most practice mutes are infamous for their deficiencies in pitch, intonation and excessive resistance. Through careful design, Wick has created a practice mute that stops nearly all sound while retaining a stable pitch, accurate intonation and the ideal level of resistance. Whether they are being used in teaching or practicing, Wick practice mutes can bring the sound to the edge of silence.  DW5526
