The mute uses birch built in marine-ply form for added strength.

Independent shopping perspective
Denis Wick’s DW5556 is a wooden straight mute made for flugelhorn. Marine-ply birch provides the body, while the vulcanized-fiber lining is part of its warm sound. It is especially suited to softer dynamic work, where its tone color can be put to use without forcing the part.
