Morningstar Tenor Trombone Straight Mute

Available with or without handle in Aluminum, Brass, Copper, and Plastic bottoms.

I don't trust myself with the finer points of tenor trombone mutes.  My first attempt, to just scale down the bass trombone mute, didn't work at all.  So I spent a lot of time collaborating with leading trombone players and listening to colleagues play prototypes.  After all that I am now confident this is not just a good mute but a GREAT straight mute.

• Plastic: Surprisingly clear for me.  Least intuitive option but works well I think!
• Aluminium: Clear, bright, and direct.  Most responsive and open especially in low register.
• Heavyweight Aluminium: Dense, but with strong articulation.
• Brass: A bit wider, articulation less pronounced.
• Annealed Brass: Covered articulation, warm, but not as dense as copper.
• Heavyweight Copper: Very dense.  Warm, can take a lot of energy without breaking up.
