Humes & Berg New Stone Lined ST-108A Velvet Reviews

Industry standard mute

There's a reason you see these everywhere. You can't beat them for this price tag. They blend well and don't add too much weight to the end of your bell. Sure there are some better sounding bucket mutes out there, but then you're going to be looking at splashing a bit more cash.

I use one of these pretty regularly in big bands and in shows, it's never let me down and 9 times out of 10 the rest of the section will have one of these too.

Good mute

The classic bucket mute, sounds great! Only slight annoyance is the clips, which makes it a touch tricky for quick mute changes, would recommend the Jo Ral one to get round this. This mute sounds great though, definitely should be in every trumpet players bag!

Fantastic to find a retailer with stock!!

I needed this mute fairly quickly, got to several UK online retailer checkouts to see that they had no stock - not so for these guys, thank you from the UK.

Mute arrived quickly and well packaged - has been used already in a gig rehearsal

It's the standard bucket mute

It is the bucket mute that seems widely used in Big Bands. I think I've only ever seen bucket mute written in Big Band music, although I'm sure there are other styles of music where it's required.

A nice mute, gives that soft diffuse sound as required by a bucket mute, intonation quite good to.
