mute drop 7.0:

the gumby.

now. a riddle.

what is bigger than a trumpet and smaller than a bass trombone?

a tenor trombone…well actually a lot of things, but those things aren’t what this next mute is for.

introducing the The flexible, stuffable, squeezable, lovable bendy mute that you can throw, drop, or kick* to your hearts content.

*please don’t throw drop or kick it, it has feelings too.

now for tenor trombone.

sorry you were last but also you’re welcome that its here.

*for tenor trombone

tell me about it.

  • tunable on the fly.

    need it soft and distant? shove it in your bell.

    need it loud and buzzy, pull it back out

  • vented.

    with inserted brass threading you are able to vent the mute for different affects or grab an extra pack of screws and see the different sounds those make

  • squishy.

    squeeze it. shove it in your case. shove it in your bell. use it as a stress ball when you miss your solo.

tasting notes.

  • Flexible tone.

    infinitely adjustable in bell tuning

    once the corks are set you are able to adjust the depth of the mute on the fly for a loud buzzy sound, soft distant, and almost everything in between.

  • fast mute changes.

    the soft nature of the gumby allows you to carelessly toss the mute to the ground with little to no sound.

    no more missing your next entrance because you are afraid of denting your precious mute.

  • best suited for.

    anything. from commercial, jazz, to symphony orchestra or band settings the flexible nature of the gumby allows it to fit in almost anywhere.

  • Is it for me.

    for players looking for flexibility in a single mute.

    for players of any style.

    for players frustrated by needing multiple mutes to accommodate single works because the loud mute only plays loud and the soft mute only plays soft.

    for players who stink at mute changes (you know who you are)

    for the player who collects stress balls.
