Tátu.
A small Central European atelier of hand-finished brass mutes for the orchestral brass family — horn, trumpet, trombone, flügelhorn.
Hand-finished mutes,
read straight off the bench.
The catalogue itself is the document. Straight, cup, and stop — cut and finished one at a time, voiced for the brass family one register at a time. There is no marketing line above the door at Tátu; there is the bench, and what comes off it.
What comes off it is a tight, deliberate range — horn straight and stop, trumpet straight and cup (and a Harmon-and-Wahwah variant), tenor / bass / contrabass trombone in both straight and cup. Each piece is shaped to its own voice rather than scaled from a single template.

Across the catalogue
Three voices.
Horn — straight and stop, with the bell-throat geometry the F-horn asks for.
Trumpet — straight, cup, and a Harmon-and-Wahwah variant.
Trombone — tenor, bass, and contrabass, each in straight and cup, scaled to the bell rather than to a single chassis.
