Manufacturer’s description:
‘Ideal for jazz musicians, Wick plunger mutes are made from aluminum with hard PVC edges and a flock-sprayed interior. The design of the Wick plunger mute results in a focussed and dramatic ‘wah’ effect.’
Plunger mutes, which take their name from the household sink plunger, are rubber or metal cups manipulated in front of the bell to produce a wide range of effects.
