Detail 01
Brass end
Brass is denser than aluminum, so the mute's end section darkens and thickens the tone rather than brightening it.

Tom CrownTrumpet Mute Brass End
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A trumpet mute with a brass end, priced above student mutes. For players who need a reliable mute for rehearsal, section work and recording.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Big band and orchestral players who read muted passages regularly
- Practice and rehearsal rooms where volume is a problem
- Adding a second mute alongside a stock student one
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Anyone needing a specific mute type a chart calls for by name
- Cornet or flugelhorn players — bell taper differs
- Beginners who only need volume reduction for home practice
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
Cork mounting
Corks hold the mute in the bell by friction. Fit is adjustable by sanding, and corks compress over time.
Detail 03
Trumpet sizing
The body is cut for a trumpet bell throat. Other bells in the family seat too deep or too shallow.
Detail 04
$74.99
Professional-tier pricing for a mute. You are paying for consistent intonation and build, not extra features.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Mute only — no bag, stand or trumpet included
- 02Muting pushes pitch sharp; expect to pull the slide out
- 03Check the corks seat evenly before playing, and re-check as they wear
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Will it fit my trumpet?
It is built for standard trumpet bells. Bell throats vary slightly between makers, so light sanding of the corks is normal to dial in the seat.
02Does it fit a cornet or flugelhorn?
No. Those bells have a different taper and depth, so the mute will not sit at the correct depth or intonation.
03Why does brass matter?
The brass end adds mass at the mute's exit. That generally yields a darker, less piercing muted sound than an all-aluminum body.
04Will it play in tune?
Any mute raises pitch somewhat. Adjust the tuning slide while muted and listen; the amount varies by player and register.
