Ullvén Mutes Trombone Copper Cup Mute

Ullvén Mutes - Trombone Copper Cup Mute

Introducing the original Ullvén Copper CUP Mute with an adjustable cup - the perfect solution for all your trombone cup mute needs. From a tight cup soft warm sound to an open bright crispy sound rich in overtones, this mute has got you covered. It can even be used as a plunger, and without the cup, the torpedo/straight part becomes a nice "straight" mute.

This mute is versatile and ideal for covering 90% of the requirements for brass players, with the added benefit of providing soloists with a greater space sound.

The Chrome Plating on this mute offers a brighter sound and great projection. It also stays shiny and is easy to polish with metal polish cream. On the other hand, the pure Copper CUP provides a warm, beautiful sound that is a little darker than the Chrome Plated option. It is not lacquered, and like all copper, it will develop a beautiful patina over time. If desired, it is possible to polish the mute and keep it shiny.

Additionally, by placing a sock or other cloth material in the cup and using it tightly, this mute can serve as a great practice mute. Please note that due to the copper material, this mute is slightly heavier than aluminum mutes.

Overall, the Ullvén Copper CUP Mute is a reliable and high-quality choice for any brass player looking to enhance their sound and performance.

"I love the tenor cup you made! I play it all the time. It has this beautiful vintage quality to it, where you can get the cup mute timbre & sound like JJ Johnson or Frank Rosolino."
