Essential For Any Serious Jazz Trombonist!
The pixie mute is a must have for any trombonists - especially if you are going to play Ellington. Paired with a plunger (we recommend the KR Indigo Big Blue) this is how trombonists, like the legendary Tricky "Sam" Nanton, achieve that "ya ya" sound.
The Tom Crown Tenor Trombone Pixie Mute (Aluminum Straight Mute for Solo Jazz Playing) will fit tenor trombones (ranging from small bore ~.490" 7 1/2" bell size up to large bore .547" 8 1/2" bell orchestral tenor trombone). The Tom Crown pixie fits a little differently that some other brands as the end of the mute is a "bulb" shape and the corks are further up towards the end of the mute (so you do not have to shave these corks down to get the mute to fit in your bell in a position where you can use the plunger mute and close the plunger tightly against the bell).
Excellent sounding mute that feels free playing in the horn. Can be used with or without plunger mute.
