Divitt Trumpet Practice Mutes - Fantastic New Product!

Great product. Best practice mute on the planet!

Good tone and intonation in high and low register. Lets you play with the feeling of little resistance compared to a sshhmute.com that I was using. to me it seems louder in the room but outside the room I practice in my family thinks it is not as loud. Well worth the money. Very pleased with the mute and pleased with ACB service. The only difference is it is just a bit heavier than the sshhmute but well worth getting used to the extra weight.

I got one to play late in my row home in Harrisburg where I work half the week. It is wonderful. It does reduce sound level a lot. Intonation is good. And it does not feel stuffy at all. But there is one thing that really made me love it. It sounds a little and feels a bit more like playing a Harmon mute. The sound I get varies depending on how I play it somewhat in the way the Harmon mute sounds. So I feel like when I’m using it I can also practice my Harmon technique. And that’s really cool It’s so good I just bought a second one for my home in Philadelphia where I will use some of the time instead of the Yamaha silent brass, which itself cool but a little cumbersome to set up when I have just 20 minutes or so to practice early or late.

Unlike a lot of players, I like practicing with a mute. I don't have great acoustics in my practice area, and I'm one of those people concerned about my hearing. A practice mute is a necessity -- for the sake of the other people in the house, and for my own hearing. This mute does not interfere with slotting at all, the horn slots just as well with it as without it. Intonation and back pressure are also good. It is the best sounding mute I have ever used. The only downsides to me are that it is heavier than my aluminum mute, and it is pricey. Honestly the $11 mute I bought from Amazon works just about as well as this one. But if you want the best intonation from the top to the bottom of your range then this is worth the extra $29.

I bought a black one, and I absolutely love it. But we need one for flugelhorn also!

Just picked up the Divitt Practice Mute from Austin Custom Brass a couple weeks ago. The customer service was excellent and the mute arrived with a hand-written card, very classy. The mute itself is free blowing with just the right amount of resistance. It’s also very light and looks super cool! I’m not endorsed by either of these companies mentioned…. just wanted to share my thoughts and say thanks for a positive experience. #austincustombrass #acbassador #acb

I absolutely hate practice mutes, but this one is a-MA-zing! Not a lot of back pressure, and I don't have to struggle to find the notes like on some other mutes. I actually don't mind using a practice mute, now. And let's face it, it's super fun being purple! :)

I'm a comeback player, with a day job and a large, busy family. Finding a space to practice (usually my car) has been my routine. When I got this mute yesterday, I put it in and started playing...very soft. My previous experience with practice mutes was that it was very difficult to play soft and low. Not with this mute thankfully! Playing soft is absolutely crucial for me in building my chops again and I have to say, I'm impressed with this mute. Now I can shut my office door and play without being worried with folks wondering what's going in there! Love ACB customer service too! Thanks again!

The real deal when it comes to practice mutes. LIttle back pressure, great tone quality and a very much dimnished sound. Perfect for Practice!
