Real Mute // Mute Monday Episode #55

Where are these sold? I haven't found any sellers online.

Can it be used with a Flugelhorn?

If you're going to test practice mutes, you really need a decibel meter. Testing from about 3 feet away is a good standard. Testing ALL my mutes with a db meter was really informative, just for my own playing. I now know just about how much more gas I can expect to need to balance up to an open horn at" mezzo-forte" with every mute I use in section work, as well as how much more mic gain to ask the sound man to kick in for a muted solo, etc. I mean sure, even most pros just stumble and fumble through all that strictly by ear and feedback from others and still get by just fine, but I find it's better if you really just know as much as possible about what you're doing, and there's really no reason not to anymore. These little meters are much cheaper than the mutes, LOL *BTW, I advise against using a cell phone app db meter. Most phones have a high db cutout that a trumpet can easily trip on their mic circuit that severely undermines the accuracy of those apps.

Compare this mute to the Yamaha silent mute?

wow that looks cool as hell! watching your video right now i might have to get it. I have to be honest here I have used to wah plunger for a while and I would never use the strap I would just hold on to it.

Cool.

I need one now. Love it.

you can get a decible meter as a cell phone app.

You can measure dB difference with any recording device. It sounds nice but I think it's much louder than other practice mutes. At least you could record sound with and without the mute for comparison. This mute is a very nice concept but I'm sorry to say that this video is pointless.

Watching this like "shut up and take my money already" lol

It doesn’t sound like there is a mute. It just sounds like super quiet trumpet.

Hi, what is your opinion about the bell diameter range? Mine is rather large.
Thanks!

Where can I buy one?

Can’t find the link, where to buy? Thanks 🙏

Are these available in the US?

Has a decent tone quality.

There are plenty of DB apps for smart phones

How about resistance?

How much back pressure is there on your jaw? I find a lot of practice mutes have has too much pressure for my TMJ. The Yamaha silent brass mute works best for me.

This is WILD!! Great video bro
