Denis Wick Bass Trombone Practice Mute

Through careful design, Wick has created a practice mute that stops nearly all sound while retaining a stable pitch, accurate intonation and the ideal level of resistance. Denis Wick practice mutes are perhaps the best teaching aid ever invented. Not only do they fulfil the need for in tune painless practice, so essential in the development of every young player and an indispensable 'hotel mute' for the professional, but they also make possible an enormous improvement in tone quality using the entire vital capacity as a vibrating air column by opening the throat spaces through playing loudly in the low register.
