Introducing the Denis Wick DW5522 straight Alto Trombone / Small Flugelhorn mute
Since the first design back in 1968, Denis Wick mutes have become the standard for what a high-quality mute should be. The DW5522 is a slightly bigger version of the world famous Denis Wick trumpet straight mute, and it’s perfect for Alto Trombones and Small Flugelhorns.
This mute is perfectly in tune in all registers, with a great feel that doesn’t affect the ‘blow’ of the instrument. It’s very open, which gives it a full sound and avoids the problem of sharpness of pitch encountered in many other mutes. It’s also got the ability to produce a searing fortissimo as well as a controlled pianissimo.
Denis Wick mutes are hand-crafted to produce a metal that is work-hardened, and the hand-spun aluminium is both light and extremely resonant. This makes it free-blowing and extremely responsive. It’s the go-to choice of even the most demanding musicians.
