Denis Wick introduces a precision-crafted extension to the classic straight mute with the Bass Aluminum Mute for Bass Trombone. Built to preserve tonal color while maximizing projection in the low register, this mute is designed for players who want a controlled, expressive sound without sacrificing responsiveness on stage or in the studio.

• A new level of harmony: Whether you’re playing with the stem removed, extended, or inside the trombone, this mute broadens your instrument’s color while maintaining clarity. The extended design shifts tonal weight without muting the core voice of your bass trombone.
• Purpose-built for the jazz and low-register sound: Mutes aren’t one-size-fits-all. This model enhances the instrument’s timbre to yield a crisper lower register, helping you reproduce that traditional jazz mouthfeel with greater precision and consistency.
• Custom, notes-first projection: The extra-long inner tube combined with the classic “ET” shape improves intonation and increases projection. Insert or remove the tubes as needed to dial in your perfect note and articulation in real time.
• Handcrafted performance you can trust: Constructed from handspun aluminum and finished with a Scotchbrite sheen, it’s designed for durability and a refined look. A cork-lined base in Portuguese-born craftsmanship ensures smooth, effortless insertion and removal that won’t mar your instrument.
• British heritage, global prestige: Denis Wick has long stood for meticulous instrument accessories, earning the Queen’s Award for Enterprise in International Trade (2013) and a reputation for dependable, musical excellence since 1968.

Details: The Extending Tube Mute for Bass Trombone is engineered to deliver a precise, controlled low-end color with improved intonation. Handspun aluminum with a Scotchbrite finish creates an attractive, durable piece that’s ready for repeated performance. Proudly handcrafted in the United Kingdom using high-quality, long-lasting materials, it’s designed to respond quickly in performance contexts and stay consistent session to session. The mute weighs 14.1 ounces and measures 10.04 x 7.48 x 7.48 inches, giving you substantial presence without added bulk in your case.

Use cases include brass ensembles, big bands, studio sessions, and live performances where a tailored low-tone voice is essential. For practice or recording, start with the mute fully inserted for a darker, centered foundation; experiment by removing the inner tube to reclaim brightness and instant response. Its blend of projection, intonation control, and tonal flexibility makes it a standout choice for bass trombone players seeking a dependable, expressive mute that performs as beautifully in a rehearsal room as it does on stage.
