Detail 01
Aluminum/copper construction
Copper adds warmth and body to the response; aluminum keeps it light and quick. The mix reads brighter than an all-fiber mute.

Jo-Ral2C Trumpet Aluminum/Copper Bubble Mute
1/2
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Jo-Ral bubble mute for Bb trumpet with an aluminum body and copper. For players who want more edge and projection than the entry model.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Lead and section players needing muted notes to carry over a band
- Recording where a brighter muted attack sits better in a mix
- Upgrading from a first mute without buying a full set
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Players on a tight budget — the TPT-2A costs $31 less
- Piccolo trumpet — wrong bell size
- Anyone who wants the darkest possible muted 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
Bubble shape
Rounder muted color than a straight mute, less of the pinched nasal edge, and it seats compactly in the bell.
Detail 03
$85.99
About $31 over the TPT-2A. You are buying the metal combination, not a different shape.
Detail 04
Metal body
Holds its shape and finish over years of gig-bag handling. Dents are possible but it will not soften or delaminate like fiber.
Detail 05
Bb trumpet sizing
Matched to a standard trumpet bell taper. Not interchangeable with piccolo, cornet, or flugelhorn.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01No case included; metal mutes dent if tossed loose in a bag
- 02Corks may need sanding to seat at the right depth
- 03Intonation shifts slightly with any mute — check tuning after inserting
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Is the copper worth the extra money over the TPT-2A?
If you need muted lines to project and want a brighter attack, yes. For casual or student use, the TPT-2A covers the same shape for less.
02Will it change my intonation?
Yes, slightly, as any mute does. Adjust your tuning slide or lipping once the mute is seated and check against a tuner.
03Does it fit a piccolo trumpet?
No. Use the 5C, which is sized for piccolo bells.
04Can I leave it in the bell in my case?
Not advisable. It puts pressure on the bell and the corks. Store it separately.
