For Which Trombonists and Situations?
This plunger mute for trombone is aimed at intermediate to professional level musicians seeking expressive colors: big band, jazz, musical theatre, brass band, as well as dynamic nuance work in the studio. It is particularly suitable for contexts where the character of the sound needs to be varied quickly.
Sound and Design
The principle of the plunger is simple: by moving the mute closer to or farther from the bell, you vary the resonance, brightness, and attack, up to the famous "wah-wah" effect. The aluminum provides a rather direct sound with good definition, while remaining comfortable to handle.
