Best Soulo Mute Adjustable Trumpet Cup Mute Alternatives

Based on 3 reviews

This adjustable cup mute is sweet toned and tuneful. It produces a wide range of sounds of varying tone and volume and the soft rim of the cup doesn't mark the bell of the horn. Used without the cup, it has a bold tone as a straight mute. Hard wearing, the colours give it a smart appearance, and make it easy to find on gigs. You could pay a lot more and get no better performance.

I use it both on my trumpet and cornet and the sound is clean and smooth, similar to those orginal recordings. It is very easy to file the corks, so I had no problem in tuning it correctly. I recommend this mute if you are looking for the best acoustic qualities of 1940s sound!

Extremely well made. Refined, consistent sound over entire range, no tuning problems at all, both with the cup fitted or the straight mute alone. Easy to adjust the cup. I prefer sound and response of the straight mute to other metal straight mutes (including Best Brass, the shape is different). I can use this mute in any situation as a straight or a cup and also as a practice mute with the cup close to the bell. I can play 99%+ of what I need either open or with this one mute. It probably won't suit players who want the 'traditional' cup mute sound of H&B or Ray Robinson, who enjoy fiddling around filing corks to get the thing in tune etc. This mute works straight from the box and the sound will be too refined for them. Nothing wrong with tradition, but perhaps some of us can move...

I play Bach Vincent 37 trumpet for 8 years and this product has been another great thing in my life. This is an interesting mute, in that the cup is adjustable - you can slide it closer to the bell to create a different sound. I have found that it is possible to achieve a sound very similar to a stone lined cup mute by bringing the cup very close to the bell. Used without the cup, this mute is a dark toned straight mute. A single mute with a variety of different sounds. This is an interesting mute, in that the cup is adjustable - you can slide it closer to the bell to create a different sound.

My friends in the trumpet section of the NJOS are all using them and I liked the bright sound and the fact the tuning is very good. I would recommend it to anyone who does Big Band playing and jazz soloists as it it plays with ease but can take the power as well.
