What matters in use
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 01
Rounded body sits closer in the bell than a long straight mute, giving a rounder, less nasal muted sound.
Detail 02
Bell taper is matched to a standard trumpet. Cornet and flugelhorn bells will not seat it correctly.
Detail 03
Lowest rung of the Jo-Ral bubble line. You are paying less than the aluminum/copper 2C for a similar shape.
Detail 04
Metal mute body rather than fiber, so it takes knocks in a gig bag better than cardboard-bodied mutes.
Final check
Product questions
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
No. It is sized for Bb trumpet bells. A cornet bell has a different taper and the mute will either fall in or sit too far out.
The 2C is an aluminum/copper build at $85.99. This TPT-2A is the lower-priced entry in the same bubble shape.
It reduces volume but is not a practice mute. Expect a muted trumpet sound, still clearly audible in an apartment.
No. It ships as the mute alone.
