[st]right \u2014 Straight Mute<\/p>\n

Standard straight mutes have a habit of choking and dying the moment you drop into the valve register. We designed the [st]right to fix exactly that. It speaks much more freely in the valve register, slots confidently up top, and keeps your intonation where it should be.<\/p>\n

It sounds unapologetically sharp, loud, and the overall muting effect is intentionally kept minimal. It\u2019s engineered for those moments when you need a razor-sharp brass sound to actually cut through the orchestra, making it a reliable tool for encounters with hard-of-hearing conductors who expect to hear your muted trombone over a fortissimo ensemble.<\/p>\n

[ sidekick ] \u2014 Adjustable Add-On Cup<\/p>\n

[ sidekick ] is a precise, sliding cup module that locks straight onto your [ st ]inger in seconds, saving you from carrying two separate mutes in your gig bag.<\/p>\n

It features a 5 cm telescopic adjustment range to easily control both your volume and your sound profile. Push it fully closed for a dark, velvety, and intimate covered sound. Slide it out a full 50 mm to open up the physics, giving you a louder, projecting sound that keeps the distinct cup timbre without restricting your airflow.<\/p>\n

You can purchase the [st]right and [ sidekick ] together, or if you are not sure at first, start with the straight mute and add the sidekick later. Buying them as a bundle from the start will save you some hard-earned cash, though.<\/p>\n

Read our quick care & maintenance guide<\/a> before purchasing so you know how to keep it alive and kickin’ for years (and what to do if gravity wins).<\/p>\n
