Denis Wick D Trumpet / E Flat Cornet – Practice mute

Denis Wick mutes have long established themselves as the benchmark for tone and intonation in brass performance. They offer an impressive array of tonal colors that enhance any brass ensemble and are indispensable for a diverse repertoire, spanning from classical composers like Mahler and Shostakovich to film scores, avant-garde compositions, big band arrangements, and small group jazz. The renowned trumpet straight mute (DW5504) has set a standard that has been imitated but never surpassed. The meticulous craftsmanship of these mutes results in high-quality aluminum that possesses a ‘work-hardened’ characteristic, producing a highly resonant product capable of delivering a remarkable fortissimo when required. Furthermore, it boasts the finest intonation of any trumpet mute on the market. The handcrafted wooden mutes are particularly effective in creating a haunting atmosphere in quieter pieces and are extensively utilized in orchestras for performing early twentieth-century music.
