Hawkins Straight Orchestral "The Berlin" Trumpet mute
Hawkins "The Berlin" Mute
Made in London
Straight Type - For Bb or C trumpet.
Like "The London" model, this design eliminates standing wave reflection, resulting in cleaner notes, better intonation and easier playability throughout the instrument's range.
It is a variant of "The London" model with a little more volume and a little more free blowing.
It is also optimal for trumpet players who want an easier volume in the lower registers. Or you may simply prefer its sound for general playing.
Lucienne Renaudin Vary (international trumpet soloist):
"I really love it. It's so cool and comfortable that you can play with a huge range of dynamics. I love the shape and the look of it, and the fact that you can still play with a warm sound with a mute. And when you have to play soft tunes, it's really fluid. It's very precise. I'm impressed! It's a yes."
