NEW!  A collaboration with the jazz trumpet great Chad McCullough! When Chad approached me with the idea of collaborating on a bucket mute I was immediately interested.  He experienced some of the same issues I have noticed as well: dead notes, inconsistent articulation, blow issues.  We traded back and forth ideas for a long time before settling on this design....but we were still unhappy.  We tried all the regular remedies to get the sound we wanted, but none gave us the response we wanted....until one day I had a realization: Use a diffuser to help the blow AND control the sound. It took lots of tweaking and changing and designing and printing, but after many months of work I am ecstatic to share the SKYLINE BUCKET for trumpet with the world!  Trombone friends, don't worry, you're next! :) Morningstar Custom Mutes: Better by design!

The Arrival of Something Truly Unique in Bucket Mutes

I have been following the design process of this entry into the bucket mute family for some time. Love the fact that is driven by active professional performers. My feeling is that is is a NEW take on the 'traditional' bucket. Rather than filling the mute chamber with dampening material, the design team developed a SONIC DIFUSER that, along with the overall design components, makes this a completely unique interpretation that remains rooted in tradition.

Superior, design and build/materials. EASE OF USE -easy on/off. And the maker worked with me to ensure a proper bell fit with my large bell - and communication throughout the order process was nimble, responsive and efficient. Not for nothing, affordably priced.

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

I do not like the mute at all

I do not like the mute at all. It is prickly to the touch, it looks very unfinished, I want a refund. I have been in New York since it arrived but when I return home I will be mailing it back for a refund. It will not touch my trumpet bell.
