Bach 1860 Trumpet/Cornet Straight Mute

Designed with Bach attention to quality, superior performance and precise acoustic detail. Made of rugged, high-impact polyethylene.

The most common type is the straight mute, a hollow, cone-shaped mute that fits into the bell of the instrument. This results in a more metallic, sometimes nasal sound, and when played at loud volumes can result in a very piercing note. Straight mutes have small pieces of cork attached to the end that squeeze against the inside of the bell and hold the mute in place.
