Denis Wick DW5529 - ADJUSTABLE CUP MUTE FOR TENOR TROMBONE

Denis Wick: a British benchmark for brass accessories

Founded by Denis Wick, a musician of the London Symphony Orchestra, the brand was born from a very practical need: to create accessories that help the instrument "speak" better in large halls. In half a century, Denis Wick has become a trusted name in brass, offering a particularly wide range of mutes, designed and manufactured with a high level of artisanal quality.

For which trombonist and playing situations?

This mute is aimed at intermediate to professional trombonists seeking a reliable tool to adapt their sound to musical demands. It is suitable for orchestra, wind band/fanfare, pop, or jazz contexts, whenever a softened, more focused timbre is needed while maintaining control over intonation.

Sound and design

Thanks to its adjustable design, the mute helps maintain a more stable playing feel and better-controlled intonation than a non-adjustable mute, especially useful in sustained passages. The removable cup expands the palette: with the cup, you get a more covered and characteristic color; without the cup, a more direct "straight mute" type response. The aluminum promotes a crisp attack and controlled projection without weighing down the instrument.

Recommended compatible accessories

To protect the finish and avoid impacts during transport, a dedicated mute pouch (trombone size) is recommended.
