Available with or without handle in Aluminum, Brass, Copper, and Plastic bottoms, this mute is to me the easiest playing mute I've ever owned. By a mile. And it's not just me. Don't believe me? Just check out the testimonials page!
- Plastic: Surprisingly clear for me. Least intuitive option but works well I think!
- Aluminum: Clear, bright, and direct
- Brass: A bit wider, articulation less pronounced
- Copper: Warm and Clear
P.S. My fav is the Copper. But I really do like them all!

It plays very nicely, once I adjusted the corks to play in tune with the open horn. The resistance is low and even, no matter what register. It’s lightweight, which is not an insignificant factor with bass trombone. The handle makes it very easy to grab and insert into the bell. Having equipment that plays like your mute does makes things much easier on me, and I can concentrate on the music, instead of fighting against my gear. Thanks, Ilan!
Ilans mutes are the best if their kind on the market. They blow with ease in all registers without sacrificing the quality of your sound. Take time to practice with your mutes to get optimal results.
