Hirschman Mutes “KR Indigo” MAX Plunger Mute: The Quest for Perfect Plunger Sound Ends Here

Decades of innovation and collaboration have culminated in the “KR Indigo” MAX Plunger Mute, co-designed by Kenny Rampton—acclaimed trumpeter with the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra under Wynton Marsalis—and Hirschman Mutes. Drawing endorsements from entire trumpet sections of the Duke Ellington and Count Basie Orchestras, this plunger is built to deliver the most in-tune, comfortable, and expressive performance imaginable.

Unmatched Intonation and Consistency

  • Flawlessly In-Tune
    From the bottom of your register to the highest notes, you’ll notice stable pitch and minimal “lipping.” Maintain endurance and reduce fatigue.
  • Consistent Open/Closed Performance
    Enjoy precise intonation whether you’re playing open or fully closed—essential when blending with an ensemble.

Innovative Kenny Penny™ Venting System

  • Two Pennies, Infinite Options
    One penny on the outside, another on the inside—turn the outer penny to open or close the plunger hole.
  • Personalize Your Setup
    Kenny Rampton prefers a closed hole over a straight mute and open when using the plunger alone. Explore both settings to find your own ideal sound.

Comfortable Grip and Reliable Build

  • No-Slip Hand Grip
    Ergonomically designed to prevent slips or drops and let you focus on the music.
  • Durable Silicon Construction
    Resists drying and cracking, so you can say goodbye to worn-out rubber plungers.

Versatility Beyond Compare

  • Fits Over Standard Straight Mute
    Keep your favorite straight mute in play—eliminate the stuffiness often found with pixie mutes.
  • Tone Hole Magic
    With the Kenny Penny in open position, cover or uncover the tone hole for added creative effects.

Inspired Look, Modern Feel

Mood Indigo Color
A nod to Duke Ellington’s classic tune and the legendary blue plungers of Snooky Young and Clark Terry—updated for the 21st century.
