Check Out these new mutes we've just received in the shop from Merf Mutes, simply called "The Cup Mute"
Add a Thumb Screw Kit to play with all the different possible tones/sounds you can get from this mute!
"The cup mute is the teachers pet of cup mutes. Whatever you need: loud cup, tight cup, classical or jazz it has you covered. can even be flipped inside out and used as a plunger."
From Merf Mutes:
a single piece
squishy and adjustable just like the gumby
the cup mute doesn't need or have a seperate cup, instead adjust the entirety of the mute in or out of your bell
gives more options and even more ability to play with variations of color
vented.
with inserted brass threading you are able to vent the mute for different affects or grab an extra pack of screws and see the different sounds those make
squishy.
squeeze it. shove it in your case. shove it in your bell. use it as a stress ball when you miss your solo.
flip-inside outable and multipurpose
flip the cup inside out partially or fully to have access to two different sounding straight mutes. (see left and right photos)
flip it all the way inside out and turn it around to use it as a plunger.
squeeze the cup as its inside your bell to get a slight plunger effect.
Flexible tone.
infinitely adjustable in bell tuning
once the corks are set you are able to adjust the depth of the mute on the fly simply by pressing the mute further into or pulling it further out of the bell
best suited for.
anything. from commercial, jazz, to symphony orchestra or band settings the flexible nature of the gumby allows it to fit in almost anywhere
Is it for me.
for players looking for flexibility in a single mute.
for players of any style.
for players frustrated by needing multiple mutes to accommodate single works because the loud mute only plays loud and the soft mute only plays soft.
for players who stink at mute changes (you know who you are)
for the player who collects stress balls.
