Humes & Berg155 Stonelined Series Glenn Miller Tuxedo Tenor Trombone Plunger Mute
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Plunger mute for tenor trombone in the Glenn Miller tuxedo finish. For players who need wah and hand-controlled color in big band and jazz charts.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Big band charts calling for plunger wah on tenor trombone
- Jazz and swing players wanting hand-controlled tone shaping
- Section players who need a standard plunger for rehearsals and gigs
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Players needing a fixed, hands-free mute while turning pages
- Bass trombone players — this is sized for tenor bells
- Anyone wanting a straight or cup mute sound
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
Stonelined Series
Humes & Berg's stonelined construction, the line most commonly called for when charts specify a mute brand.
Detail 03
Tuxedo finish
The black-and-white Glenn Miller look. Cosmetic — it does not change how the mute sounds.
Detail 04
Tenor trombone sizing
Cut for a tenor bell diameter. Too small to seat properly against a bass trombone bell.
Detail 05
Under $40
Entry-level pricing, so it works as a first plunger or a spare for the gig bag.

Know before you order
- 01Nothing else is included — no case, bag, or holder

- 03Confirm your bell size is tenor, not bass or alto
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Does this fit inside the bell like a straight mute?
No. A plunger is held over the outside of the bell with your left hand and moved open to closed. It does not seat in the bell throat.
02Will this work on my bass trombone?
It is sized for tenor trombone bells. A bass trombone bell is wider, so coverage will be incomplete.
03Do I need this for big band music?
Plunger parts are common in big band and swing charts. If your book calls for plunger, you need one.
04Does the tuxedo finish affect the sound?
No. It is a cosmetic black-and-white finish. The sound comes from the shape and the way you move it across the bell.
