Soulo Bucket Mute is the premier bucket mute for professionals, educators and students. Its versatility allows it to blend with a variety of other brands, thanks to the adjustable clips and hollow interior. It is designed to be perfectly in tune in all registers, with no back-pressure, and no squirelly notes. It has unbreakable, coated brass clips, which are flexible to accommodate most bell sizes (4-3/4" to 5-1/4") and allow for quick on and off for fast mute changes. It is considerably lighter than all other brands, weighing only 2.2 oz! The mute is really fun to play and you will feel like there is nothing on the end of your trumpet bell. Two adjustable positions allow for different color sounds, which in turn allow a trumpet player to blend perfectly in a section, comprised of different brands of bucket mutes. The mute is perfect for performance and sound recordings, as it will never fall off the bell. It is also excellent for restaurant, jazz, solo and church gigs. It is endorsed by US and international trumpet and trombone icons like Wayne Bergeron, Herb Alpert, Bria Skonberg, Roger Ingram, James Ackley, Jens Lindemann, and many more. Made in the USA by professional trumpet player Mike Jarosz.
