A “Small Soundproof Room” You Can Use Anywhere

“I bought a practice mute thinking I’d practice at home, in a corner of my office, or during spare moments. But when I played, it felt muffled, and I couldn’t tell if I was in tune…” Many of you have probably had this experience, only to end up tucking the mute away in the back of a drawer.

While there are many practice mutes on the market, their design—which blocks the bell—means that no matter how well-made they are, a “stuffy playing feel” and “poor intonation” are unavoidable.

Designed with the concept of a “mini soundproof room,” this new practice mute significantly improves upon the shortcomings of conventional practice mutes. Although it looks large, it’s surprisingly light, allowing you to practice with a natural playing feel. While it’s often thought that an “open playing feel” and “sound-dampening performance” are a trade-off, this product strikes an exquisite balance between the two.

The volume of a standard trumpet is said to be around 100–120 dB, and using this product reduces it to approximately 75–85 dB. Since a typical practice mute reduces the volume to about 70–80 dB, this one is perhaps just a little louder.

Even so, with this playing feel, you’ll likely find yourself thinking, “It’s a hassle to go outside, but maybe I’ll just practice a little at home.” After all, what’s the point of having a practice mute if you don’t feel like practicing?

*What is a Mute Booster?

Take your mute’s sound-dampening performance to the next level.
The Mute Booster is a “sound-dampening accessory” designed to be attached to a trumpet mute to reduce volume even further than the mute alone.
It can be used in combination with a variety of mutes, including the Home Mute, as well as standard straight mutes and cup mutes.

◎ It brings out even more from your mute’s performance.
Its design, which covers both the trumpet bell and the mute, along with its sound-absorbing material, further reduces sound leakage to the outside.
“I want to practice a little more quietly, even with the mute I’m currently using.”
In situations like this, you can use it in addition to your usual mute.
It is specifically designed for use with the Home Mute, allowing you to achieve an even greater sound-dampening effect while maintaining the Home Mute’s natural playing feel.
