NEW!

A collaboration with the jazz trumpet great Chad McCullough! When Chad approached me with the idea of collaborating on a bucket mute I was immediately interested.  He experienced some of the same issues I have noticed as well: dead notes, inconsistent articulation, blow issues.  We traded back and forth ideas for a long time before settling on this design….but we were still unhappy.  We tried all the regular remedies to get the sound we wanted, but none gave us the response we wanted….until one day I had a realization: Use a diffuser to help the blow AND control the sound. It took lots of tweaking and changing and designing and printing, but after many months of work I am ecstatic to share the SKYLINE BUCKET for trumpet with the world!  Trombone friends, don’t worry, you’re next! 🙂 Morningstar Custom Mutes: Better by design!
