A Sound Signature That Has Become a Classic

The Harmon mute has established itself as an essential reference among trumpeters, notably for its "metallic" and focused color, highly present in the jazz aesthetic. Its design with an internal slide allows variation of the sound character and achieves this typical sound identity, as expressive in phrasing as effective in ensemble playing.

For Which Musicians and Styles

This mute is suitable for both intermediate and advanced musicians seeking a distinctive and controllable color. It naturally fits in jazz, big band, and contemporary music, but remains relevant whenever a more incisive and "studio" timbre on trumpet is desired.

Sound and Design

Aluminum promotes a lively response and focused projection, with a clear output and a narrow spectrum that highlights articulation. The internal slide contributes to the model's personality: it affects resonance and playing feel, resulting in a typically "Harmon" and highly expressive sound.

The Harmon mute is perfect for the player who wants to grab and really re-live the 1940+ sound, which stars like Miles Davies would have used. It is believed even he used this make of mute and so any user should be confident, their Harmon mute will deliver a solid sound, as used by professionals. Overall with a fantastic price from Woodbrass.com the Mute sounds and plays so well with a unique 'Kind of Blue' sound.

Very nice mythical mute that lived up to my expectations. The problem may come from the cork that I will certainly replace in order to have a better grip in the pavilion.
