Detail 01
Piccolo trumpet sizing

Jo-Ral5C Straight Aluminum/Copper Piccolo Trumpet Mute
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Straight mute sized for piccolo trumpet, aluminum with copper. For piccolo players who need a mute that actually seats in the smaller bell.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Baroque and orchestral piccolo trumpet parts calling for straight mute
- Players who already own Bb mutes and need piccolo-specific sizing
- Recording high piccolo lines that need a focused, cutting tone
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Bb trumpet players — this will fall straight through the bell
- Anyone wanting a rounder bubble-mute color
- Players who need a cup or harmon 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
Straight mute shape
Cone shape gives the bright, focused, slightly nasal tone written as 'straight mute' in orchestral and big band parts.
Detail 03
Aluminum/copper construction
Copper fills out the tone; aluminum keeps weight down. Brighter and more cutting than a fiber straight mute.
Detail 04
$55.99
Priced near the entry bubble mute despite being a specialty size. Piccolo-specific mutes are a narrow market.
Detail 05
Metal body
Survives repeated insertion and gig transport better than fiber, which crushes and wears at the corks.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Confirm you are buying for piccolo, not Bb trumpet — sizes are not interchangeable
- 02No case or bag included
- 03Corks often need light sanding for correct depth in your specific bell
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Will this work in my Bb trumpet?
No. It is sized for piccolo trumpet bells and will drop too far into a Bb bell. Use the TPT-2A or 2C for standard trumpet.
02What does a straight mute sound like?
Bright, focused and slightly nasal, with a cutting edge. It is the default mute sound written into orchestral and big band parts.
03Does the copper make a difference?
It adds warmth and body under the brightness compared with an all-aluminum or fiber straight mute.
04How does it compare to the bubble mutes?
Different shape and different sound. The bubble mutes are rounder and less nasal; this straight mute is more focused and cutting.
