Made from premium birch‑faced plywood with a marine ply base and reinforced lining, this Denis Wick wooden straight mute for French horn produces a warm, rich tone colour that is especially effective in softer dynamics where metal mutes can sound too bright. The natural wood construction delivers an earthy, focused sound with smooth response across the instrument’s range, helping players achieve clear muted tone with stable intonation and reliable projection. Its handcrafted build and snug cork fittings ensure a secure fit in the bell, giving consistent performance whether in orchestral, ensemble or solo settings. A classic choice for horn players seeking a traditional, musical muted sound with superior tonal character.
