Description
Even and warm and with a good low register!…and a soft cup of course to fit into any backpack. Combining traditional sound and modern clarity. I’m very proud of this mute!
The “corks” I prefer to use are synthetic. This gives me consistency in material properties and a playability I prefer. I also mount the “corck” to the mute with adjustable connectors to allow the players to find where the mute plays ultimately for them.
All Plastic mutes have a nice warmth and a sound quality that I still find surprising: somewhere about half way between fiber and metal mutes.
Brass Bottom mutes provide a body to the sound that is wider and more dense than aluminium. This mute still responds with immediacy but has a wider articulation profile.
The stock I use for my Copper Bottom mutes is lighter weight than other makers. I find it gives me my favorite balance of clarity and warmth. They play with clarity of articulation and pitch as all my mutes do, but for me give an added dimension to the sound that I find beautiful.
This one took some doing! Three features make this mute special: The semi-soft cup that can be stuffed into any backpack, the neck design that helps give more focused feedback, and the blended cup shape, giving both the traditional sound and modern clarity. Actually, there’s a couple more but I’ll keep those to myself.
Tailor your Morningstar TENOR Trombone Cup Mute sound with the available with LW Fiber Bottom, Aluminium, Brass and Copper Bottoms as well. Wood bottom coming soon!
