Introducing The Gumby Straight Mute!

 

 

Check Out these new straight mutes we've just received in the shop from Merf Mutes, lovingly called "The Gumby" 

Add a Thumb Screw Kit to play with all the different possible tones/sounds you can get from this mute!

From Merf Mutes:

"The flexible, stuffable, squeezable, lovable, and infinitely adjustable bendy mute that you can throw, drop, or kick* to your hearts content.

 

*please don’t throw drop or kick it, it has feelings too. don’t go crazy."

 

  • adjustable on the fly.

    need it soft and distant? shove it in your bell.

    need it loud and buzzy, pull it back out to where the corks just sit in the bell.

     

  • vented.

    with inserted brass threading you are able to vent the mute for different effects 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.

     

    • flexible tone.

      infinitely adjustable in bell seating.

      once the corks touch the instrument, you are able to adjust the depth of the mute on the fly for a loud buzzy sound, soft distant, and almost everything in between.

    • fast mute changes.

      the soft nature of the gumby allows you to carelessly toss the mute to the ground with little to no sound.

      no more missing your next entrance because you are afraid of denting your precious mute.

    • best suited for.

      anything and everyone. from commercial, jazz, to symphony orchestra or band settings, middle school learners or top-tier pros, the flexibiity of the gumby allows it to fit in almost anywhere. even smushed in case too small to carry a regular mute.

    • huge dynamic contrast

      along with the ease of tunability the flexible nature of this mute and the ability to vent it allows for ease in extreme dynamic contrasts.

    • 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.
