Introducing the Denis Wick DW5511 trombone plunger mute
Denis Wick mutes have set a high standard for tone and intonation for many years. They bring an impressive range of tone colours to any brass section and are essential for the performance of a huge range of music. The design of this plunger mute results in a more focused and dramatic ‘wah’ effect that is unmatched by any other maker.
The Denis Wick trombone plunger mute is made from high purity spun aluminium, giving it excellent intonation and carrying power. It’s also got a Scotchbrite finish for a high quality look, with hard PVC edges for long-lasting durability, and a flock-sprayed interior.
Plunger mutes are often used in a similar manner to the hat mute, where the player manipulates the plunger in front of the bell. This changes the sound that’s produced to give you many different effects, which is why these mutes are popular for use in avant-garde, contemporary music and jazz.
