Denis WickDW5521 Straight Piccolo Trumpet Mute
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A straight mute sized specifically for piccolo trumpet. For players who already own a piccolo and need a mute that actually fits its smaller bell.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Piccolo players doing Baroque or orchestral parts marked con sordino
- Church and recording work needing a quieter piccolo voice
- Owners whose Bb straight mute is too large to seat
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Bb, C, or flugelhorn players — the taper won't seat correctly
- Anyone wanting cup, harmon, or wah-wah colors
- Players looking for a multi-horn mute that covers a whole case
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
Sized for piccolo trumpet
Bell taper matches a piccolo's smaller bell. It seats on cork without wedging or falling out.
Detail 03
Single-horn design
One instrument, one fit. Nothing about it adapts to a full-size Bb trumpet bell.
Detail 04
$64
Mid-range for a specialty mute. You're paying for correct fit on an uncommon bell size, not extra features.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Check your bell cork condition — worn cork makes any mute sit loose
- 02No case or bag included; store it where the corks won't crush
- 03Expect pitch to rise slightly with the mute in; adjust tuning
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Will this fit my regular Bb trumpet?
No. It is built for the smaller piccolo trumpet bell. On a Bb it will sit too shallow to hold position.
02Does it change my intonation?
Yes, as with any straight mute. Expect to play slightly sharp and compensate with the tuning slide.
03Is a straight mute the right choice for practice quieting?
Not really. Straight mutes brighten and thin the tone more than they reduce volume. A practice mute does that job.
04Does it come with corks installed?
The mute has its own corks. Your bell does not need modification, but check the corks periodically for wear.
