Mutec MHT214 Truetone by Straight Mute for Trombone - Blue Plastic

This mute actually works. When I first saw it, I didn't think it would be of much use. But after using it, it works and it works best on a large bore trombone. It's very long so it sticks way out on a small bore. The mute is red. Don't believe the "blue" line in the title. The material is a hard plastic. Couple the material with the color and, seriously, it looks like a traffic cone is sticking out of your horn. But it sounds good on the large bore. If you have a .500 bore, this isn't a good mute, sound wise. It sticks out too long to cut the sound. But on the larger bore, it goes in farther and produces a good muted sound.
