“The Muirhead-Wallace Studio Practice mute gives me the most free-blowing and enjoyable experience I’ve ever had with a practice mute. It’s perfectly in tune, and even has perfect slots in the PEDAL register with my 4-valve horn!

Muirhead-Wallace advocate Adam RapaI usually find practice mutes completely intolerable, but with this one, I feel like I’m still blowing into a trumpet instead of pushing against a wall. As if that wasn’t enough, there’s a small, adjustable “resistor” inside the stem which gives you about a dozen different options for tone quality and resistance depending on how far it’s moved in & out. This is a fantastic innovation that blows all other practice mutes out of the water!
You’ve GOT to try these mutes!”
