Made from high‑purity hand‑spun aluminum with a copper bottom for added mass and warmth, the Denis Wick straight mute with copper bottom delivers a rich, focused muted tone with excellent projection and reliable intonation across all registers. Building on the classic straight mute design introduced by Denis Wick in 1968, this premium version offers a slightly warmer sound and greater carrying power compared to the standard aluminum model, making it well‑suited for orchestral, ensemble and solo playing. The balanced feel does not restrict the instrument’s response, allowing players to achieve expressive dynamics from controlled pianissimo to powerful fortissimo. Snug cork fittings ensure a secure, stable placement in the bell for consistent performance.
