Denis Wick Straight Mute for Trumpet or Cornet, 5504 - Hand-Spun Aluminum Mute with Natural Cork - Brilliant Tone, Reliable Intonation & Tight-Bell Fit for Performance - 6.1 x 3.4 x 3.4 In, 2.26 oz

This delivers the muted sound my daughter needed and wanted. It’s got a slight tinny sound to it. Everything is in great condition without dents. It fits in her Bach trumpet case

Very nice and soft sound.

The Denis Wick mute is awesome became it be adjusted so you can hear the sound better than a mute the just kills the sound

It works as expected, but IMO, it over priced. In hindsight, I probably would have purchased a less expensive model and used the extra money for a second kind of mute.

Well-made, high quality, matches my Denis Wick straight mute.

First, this is a practice mute. Not a performance mute. It sole purpose is to quite your horn so you can play full force and not blast out the neighbors. I would say that you get probably 15% normal volume when you use this mute. So just practicing normal tones with a closed bedroom door between you and the parents should keep the noise away from them so they don't have to turn up the TV volume. lol Secondly, there is a small resistance to your playing. It is very slight but you can feel it at full volume. Think of it as a runner wearing weights during his practice and then when he takes the weights of he can run even faster. The bit of resistance is a good thing to warmup with or even do your full practice with because when you take the mute out Ba da der der! It feels like you just got a second wind. With frequent use during practice I can see this strengthening my lung and playing power. Good investment for a student player that is for sure.

Like all Denis Wick products, this one is also excellent with perfect sound reduction.

Why did you pick this product vs others?: I previously had the Protec cup mute but the bottom of the mute kept twisting, making it difficult to put the mute in place in the bell and would cause buzzing. The Denis Wick cup mute is solid and helps me produce a great sound.
