Denis Wick DW5562 Straight Euphonium Mute - Wooden
Wooden straight mutes offer a special warm tone color unmatched by other materials, especially in soft dynamics. The birch faced plywood sidewalls and marine ply bases are lined with a vulcanized fiber to provide superior durability and a warm, earthy sound.
Wooden mutes are used for their warmer muted sound but can often be expensive and easy to break. Denis Wick wooden mutes are made by wrapping a birch-ply facing over a vulcanized fiber and finished with a marine ply bottom. This manufacturing technique reduces cost and increases durability while at the same time maintaining the beautifully warm muted sound that can only be achieved with a real wooden mute.
Denis Wick mutes have set the standard for tone and intonation for many years. They bring an amazing range of tone colours to any brass section and are essential for the performance of a huge range of music, from classical composers such as Mahler and Shostakovich to film scores, avant-garde music, big bands and small group jazz.
