 Denis Wick Flugelhorn MutesAll Denis Wick metal straight mutes are made from high purity spun aluminium, scotchbrite finished and bright silver anodised. The well known 5504 and 5521 trumpet and piccolo trumpet models are now complemented by a new straight mute for D trumpet and Eb cornet. There is also a new model for alto trombone which also suits flugel horns with older type small bells. All Denis Wick straight mutes have excellent intonation and are well matched when played together. Denis Wick practice mutes are perhaps the best teaching aid ever invented. Not only do they fulfil the need for the IN TUNE painless practice, so essential in the development of every young player and an indispensible hotel mute for the professional, but they also make possible an enormous improvement in tone quality using the entire vital capacity as a vibrating air column by opening the throat spaces through playing loudly in the low register. They are a fraction of cost of the electronic practice mutes now available, which do not develop the sound in the same way. |
