Detail 01
Straight mute
Leaves the bell mouth open and narrows the throat. Sound stays bright and cutting, just thinner and more focused.

Humes & BergStonelined Series 115A Symphonic Piccolo Trumpet Straight Mute
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Straight mute sized for piccolo trumpet, from the Stonelined series. For players covering Baroque and orchestral piccolo parts that call for mute.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Baroque repertoire on piccolo trumpet with muted passages
- Orchestral players who already own a piccolo horn
- Section work needing a bright, focused muted tone
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Bb or C trumpet — the bell is far too small for those
- Players wanting a soft, mellow cup or bucket sound
- Anyone without a piccolo trumpet in the 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
Piccolo trumpet sizing
Built for the small piccolo bell. It will fall through a standard Bb trumpet bell and cannot be swapped between horns.
Detail 03
Stonelined construction
Fiber body with a stone-composite interior. Warmer and less clangy than an all-aluminum straight mute.
Detail 04
Symphonic voicing
Aimed at blending in an orchestral section rather than the harder edge a jazz lead player would want.
Detail 05
Cork mounting
Three corks set the seating depth. Deeper seating raises pitch and increases back pressure through the horn.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Confirm you have a piccolo trumpet — this will not fit a standard Bb bell
- 02No pouch or case included; store it so the corks stay uncrushed
- 03Expect to pull the tuning slide out, as muted piccolo tends to play sharp
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Can I use this on a regular trumpet?
No. A piccolo trumpet bell is much smaller. On a Bb or C trumpet the mute will not seat and can drop straight through.
02Does it make the horn harder to play?
It adds back pressure, so high and soft passages take more control. Piccolo parts already sit high, so budget practice time with it in.
03How does it affect intonation?
Muted playing usually pushes pitch sharp. Adjust the tuning slide and check notes against a tuner with the mute seated.
04Will the corks need replacing?
Eventually. Corks compress with use and the mute starts sitting deeper or rattling. Replacing or shimming them restores the original fit.
