This one took some doing! Three features make this mute special: The semi-soft cup that can be stuffed into any backpack, the neck design that helps give more focused feedback, and the blended cup shape, giving both the traditional sound and modern clarity. Actually, there's a couple more but I'll keep those to myself.
Tailor your Morningstar TENOR Trombone Cup Mute sound with the available with LW Fiber Bottom, Aluminium, Brass and Copper Bottoms as well. Wood bottom coming soon!

Good Intonation, great sound
The best playing mutes I’ve owned! Easy playing, very open, great pitch and not a bad note on them! Bravo Ilan!
By far the most freeblowing mute I've ever played on. The 2nd movement of Tomasi doesn't suck to play anymore.
Warm and open, while still retaining that quintessential 'cup mute' sound. It certainly has all the notes, too!
Excellent response and tone in all registers.Visually striking desig. Well done!
I now have a full set of mutes for bass and tenor. Ordered mine with the rosewood bottom. Fantastic sound throughout the entire range of the instrument.
Great study. Very useful in all contra configurations. Excellent book!
Great Straight mute! Everyone needs this!
These mutes are better than the earlier model that I have. Ilan has knocked it out of the park! Unlike the Dodgers in the playoffs!

My first impression of the book is great. The music included makes the book complete.
However, the book is a huge challenge for me. I have learned the tenor clef in the past, but not having used it at all since, so that is the first challenge.
I started practicing last week, July and August is the holiday period.
Furthermore, I love challenges; I am an amateur, and I have no other instrument available besides my tenor trombone. But that shouldn't be a problem.
I am happy with this book; I am going to use it with other practice material.
The composition is great. However, the engraving is sloppy. More attention to detail is necessary. Dynamics are not vertically aligned, some measures are too wide while others are to small making the notation hard to read. Also, multi-measure rests should be used more often. There were none in this piece and it could have used some. I had an issue with the file and I contacted customer service. The issue was resolved quickly, so the customer service was great!
As always I simply like the text in her books. Tons of experience shared with great insight. Prescriptions on how to execute the exercises is a game changer and I would recommend both her books to all my trombone friends. These books are important for getting the basics in order, sound, air-flow, breathing, relaxation and endurance just to mention a few great tips for taking your playing to next level. Dimply great books
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!
