[Factory second] Denis Wick trumpet plunger mute

This item is offered at a lower than normal price after failing the manufacturer's stringent quality inspection, usually as a result of a minor cosmetic fault that does not affect its function. Items sold as 'seconds' will be inspected before dispatch to ensure they remain fully fit for their intended purpose.

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.

Also available in the Denis Wick trumpet mute range:

* Other models: 5504B (brass bottom); 5504C (copper bottom); 5514 (pianissimo)
