About this item

  • THE CLASSIC: This mute is our original 1968 design. Perfectly tuned in all registers, the mute has a pleasant feel when you use it that won’t affect the “blow” of the trumpet. It’s bigger and more open than mutes before it, providing a full, rich sound.
  • LONG-LASTING: Quality materials and construction make a solid product. Whether you’re just starting your musical journey or are a seasoned player already, the straight mute works for all skill levels. With proper care, it will last your full career.
  • CARRY POWER: World-renowned for intonation in all dynamic ranges, our products offer a brilliant sound quality, lightness, and resonance. Beginners and maestros alike can use the straight mute to achieve a satisfyingly sharp pitch on their trumpet.
  • UNMATCHED CRAFTSMANSHIP: Our trumpet mutes are handmade, “work hardened” with pride in the United Kingdom. Made of high-purity spun aluminum, each mute is given a Scotchbrite finish. Portuguese cork strips line the neck for easy insertion and removal.
  • BRITISH PRIDE: The Denis Wick name is synonymous with quality and prestige, changing the music industry with the first mute designed in 1968. The company earned the Queen’s Award for Enterprise in International Trade in 2013, a most honorable achievement.
