Muirhead-Wallace 301 cornet/trumpet straight mute

‘Play as loud as you want, as quiet as you dare.’

Lightweight yet robust, the 301 trumpet straight mute plays with a true centered ringing tone across the entire register and at all dynamics.

Muirhead-Wallace mutes are handmade in Scotland.

Straight mutes are by far the most widely used mutes for brass. They are cone-shaped with three narrow corks to hold them in the bell. Sound emerges from the gaps between the corks. Straight mutes generally reduce low frequencies and accentuate high, giving a more nasal, reedy sound. Aluminium straight mutes have a brighter sound than those made of softer materials like plastic, fibre or wood.
