Philharmonic Productions Saga 1: Aslaug (Textured)

Explore a new dimension with Saga 1: Aslaug in its textured configuration.

This version features a unique, tactile surface designed for a firm grip, allowing easier mute handling and positioning during fast transitions. The textured finish doesn’t just add utility; it contributes to a subtly different tone, providing a slightly warmer, more diffuse sound. The Aslaug mute’s familiar taper-to-round design ensures precision across all registers.

The color selection, from left to right in the left image, is Black, Metallic Green, Mystic Brown, Rainbow, Dark Red, Silver, (UNUSED), Gold, Metallic Blue, Tricolor, and Navy Blue.

*WARNING*

Philharmonic Productions mutes are made from a 3D printed plastic material that is sensitive to high temperatures. The material will start to deform if left in 130 F or 55 C temperatures. Make sure to store in cooler locations.

"For me, the Saga 1 is a really solid all-around mute. It does a lot of things very well. It’s very light and can be bright even on really soft passages. On the other hand, when playing loud, it projects very well. Intonation is really spot on."

- Mark Nelson, Principal Trumpet at South Dakota Symphony Orchestra

"I have played the Saga 1 in practice and performances and find it to be excellent in every respect. It responds immediately in all registers, creating clear, focused, and colorful tone at all dynamic levels. Intonation is also excellent. Saga 1 is a splendid and versatile straight mute"

- Peter Bond, Former 2nd and 3rd Trumpet at The Metropolitan Opera

" I want to give a shout out to Philharmonic Productions. I've really enjoyed trying and playing their mutes. The Saga 1 and 2 are in my current rotation, great response and intonation, and more complex tonal colors than other 3D printed mutes I've used. I'd definitely recommend giving them a try!"

- Hunter Eberly, Principal Trumpet at Detroit Symphony Orchestra
