Denis Wick 5533 Adjustable Cup Mute for Bass Trombones

General

Sometimes, as a trombonist, you want to adapt the sound of your instrument to the genre of music or the setting you play in (acoustic or amplified? in a small band or a large orchestra?), and a damper is a good way to do this. Fixed dampers you can mount or remove, and so only provide one variation. This Denis Wick 5533 Adjustable Cup Mute has an extendable cup that you can thus change its position so that with one mute you immediately have many different possibilities, from extra sharp to warm and rounded. You can even detach the cup completely to hold it in your hand as a plunger, to create a wah-wah effect. This 5533 Adjustable Cup Mute was handmade from aluminium, cork strips avoid scratches and provide stability.
