Hughes Mutes.
An American trumpet practice mute atelier. Designed by a Houston Symphony principal trumpet — precise intonation across the entire range, including in-tune natural pedals, and a soft Harmon-like ‘zing’ indicating you’re in the zone.
A trumpeter’s
practice mute.
The atelier’s framing of the mute: “easy air flow rate, precise intonation throughout the entire range (including in-tune natural pedals), and a soft Harmon-like ‘zing’ indicating you’re playing in the zone.”
The atelier’s closed-cell foam corking means “no fogging of your bell is necessary for the mute to stay affixed, no matter how long your practice session lasts.” 3D-printed and tested in performance.
