For those of you who want a trumpet sound that's similar to the legendary Miles Davis', a harmon/bubble brass mute is a must-have accessory. By fitting firmly into the bell of your instrument, these mutes are known for reducing volume and creating a distant, buzzy "wah-wah" sound. Harmon/bubble mutes are favored by many serious jazz musicians and require strong air control to play correctly. Simply put, mastering these mutes will do wonders for your performance and many concert and classical brass instrument musicians incorporate them into their routine.
In this section you'll find that harmon/bubble brass mutes are made from a variety of materials. Aluminum mutes are known for their bright sound and easy projection while copper mutes deliver a darker, mellow tone. There are plenty of top-selling trumpet mutes in this section, including the Mutec Aluminum Trumpet Bubble Style Mute. Professionally designed and tuned for free blowing, this mute plays amazing in all registers. Or, how about the Mutec MHT131 Copper Trumpet Bubble Style Mute. This model is also made for free blowing and provides top-notch intonation.
And harmon/bubble brass mutes are available for other brass instruments as well. Trombonists owe it to themselves to check out the Jo-Ral TRB-3 Trombone Bubble Mute. Featuring one-of-a-kind performance traits like a louder buzz, this wah-wah type mute fits nicely into all tenor trombone bells for a killer jazz tone that's consistent even after countless amounts of use. As for flugelhorn players, look no further than the Jo-Ral Copper Bottom Flugelhorn Bubble Mute. Like the model for trombones, this mute is perfect for jazz musicians and will no doubt improve your sound tremendously.
Whichever harmon/bubble brass mute you choose from this catalog, there's a very great chance that you'll be pleased with the results. After all, companies like Mutec, Jo-Ral and countless others like Alessi-Vacchiano, Trumcor and Denis Wick are respected worldwide for their exceptional mutes.
