The Hawkins flugelhorn straight mute delivers a centred, mellow straight-mute sound that retains the characteristic warmth of the flugelhorn while adding clarity and focus.
Its polymer body avoids the overly metallic edge typical of many straight mutes, instead offering a tone that sits naturally between metal brightness and fibre softness. Intonation remains stable across the full range—particularly in the notoriously sensitive low register—and the angled corks ensure a secure seal while reducing stress during insertion.
Designed for orchestral, jazz, and commercial settings, it provides balanced resistance and clean articulation without compromising the instrument’s core timbre.
