Detail 01
Polymer body
Lighter than a metal mute and it will not dent. Drops usually mean a scuff instead of a bent shell.

MutecMHT210 Black Polymer Trombone Straight Mute Black
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A black polymer straight mute for trombone at entry-level pricing. For students and players who need standard muted parts covered without buying metal.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Concert band and orchestra parts marked straight mute
- Students who need one mute for school ensemble work
- A backup mute to leave in the case or locker
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Players who specifically need the response of a metal mute
- Euphonium, baritone or trumpet — bell sizing is trombone-only
- Plunger, cup or harmon effects; a straight mute does one job
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
Wedges into the bell and stays there, so both hands are free for the slide once it is seated.
Detail 03
Black finish
Cosmetic. It stays visually unobtrusive in a pit or on a dark stage, unlike a bright metal shell.
Detail 04
Trombone sizing
Built for a trombone bell taper. Bell diameters vary between makes, so seating depth will differ horn to horn.
Detail 05
$29.99
Roughly a third of the aluminum tier, which makes it the practical choice for a school or spare mute.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Check it seats firmly in your bell — a loose mute drops out mid-rest
- 02Nothing else included: no bag, stand or spare corks
- 03Seating depth changes intonation slightly; expect to adjust the tuning slide
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Will this fit my trombone?
It is sized for trombone bells, but bell tapers vary by maker. Test the seat before a rehearsal; it should hold without being forced in.
02Polymer versus aluminum — what am I giving up?
Weight and durability profile mostly. Polymer will not dent but can scuff or crack under hard impact; aluminum dents instead of breaking.
03Does a mute change my tuning?
Usually yes. Muted passages tend to play sharp, so most players pull the tuning slide slightly while the mute is in.
04Can I use this on a bass trombone?
Not reliably. Bass trombone bells are typically larger, so a tenor-sized mute may not seat deep enough to hold.
