Humes and Berg Pixie Mute with modern Brushed Aluminum Finish. This is exactly the same as the original Red/White, Stonelined, Aluminum, Precious Metal and is still made by Humes & Berg in Indiana, near Chicago. This is the type of mute to use with a plunger when you want to make your trombone talk like the teacher on Charlie Brown. Is the type that Al Grey of Count Basie Band used. He wrote a book on plunger technique too! Depending upon the size trombone bell you play on, it may be necessary to file down the corks to insert far enough into the bell. Some guys will reposition the corks and re-glue them. Al Grey would also remove the insert from the top opening, with a pair of needle nose pliars. These two tricks together will improve pitch when using a plunger. But, it may work fine for you as is, depending upon the bell size opening. This is a classic trombone mute, never going out of style. Trad Jazz guys and dixie players delight! In-stock
