British born, Denis Wick spent most of his working adult life as a
professional trombonist and conductor, although over the last 30 years
his name has become associated with his line of brass mutes and
mouthpieces. Built to a high standard, these products are used across
the world by players of every calibre.
- Practical - Probably the most commonly used mute, the straight mute is called for frequently by composers and in written music.
- Sound - Aluminium makes the sound quite distinctive and gives a buzz to your tone whilst muting the volume. However, should you play very loudly, you can produce a very piercing sound!
- Style - Particularly useful for playing in the background of an ensemble.
