Questions & Answers
Yes, it's designed to work with any trumpet.
It does have some taper, but I don't believe the sax bell tapers like a trumpet bell, and the opening would be out of sync. I've also never seen a saxophone player use a mute. Before you buy a Harmon or Bubble mute, I recommend going to a music store or finding a trumpet player who has one and trying it out.

I looked at the Jo- Along with the Harmon brand Copper Wah-mute, Ral has a Copper Bubble Mute. Wah (or harmon mute) is a sound produced by a harmon mute instrument. I use the mutes in both a jazz quartet and a larger 7-piece jazz ensemble. Jump blues, jazz, soul, and r&b are just a few of the genres he plays. b, and funk are a couple of words that come to mind when I think of music What is similar: br>br> Both are made of thick copper. br> br>The sound of both has a nice traditional harmon mute'bite' and edge to it. I'd describe the Harmon as 'crisp,' whereas the Jo- Ral has a "dark" personality. 'br>Both of them are beautifully made.

This is a significant design difference between the mutes. the Jo- Ral has a rounded shape, whereas Harmon has a more angular shape. This can make a difference over the course of a longer gig. For me, having the equipment work 'for' me is preferable to not having it work at all. br>The Jo-br>The Jo-br>The Jo-br>The The Ral is made of bare copper, while the Harmon is made of clearcoated copper.

I'd recently purchased a Jo Ral straight mute and was so pleased with it that I decided to give their Harmon a try. Did it. br>br> Not. This is a disappointment. So much happiness. br>br> This mute transforms my feeble attempts at trumpet tone into something that others can enjoy. As I type this, I want to grab my horn, turn on the mute, and start playing!.
Item arrived with too much glue and a large overhang of clearly mis-cut fabric. Cork was aligned around the mute's base. I fixed it, and everything is still working fine a week later; aside from this minor quality control issue, I am very pleased with the item. This item's intonation and tone are exactly what I was looking for. Any passage played through this mute produces a deep buzz and a gentle warmth. If you want your instrument to have a "Kind of Blue" sound, this is probably the best you can hope for.
That is quite a range! After 30 years of playing on a real Harmon harmon mute, I decided to splurge and get a Jo-King harmon mute. Ral chooses the copper option over the bubble mute. I wasn't let down at all! The sound is fantastic, it's a lot of fun to play, the resistance/back pressure is excellent, and most importantly, I can play the horn throughout its entire range and the mute stays in tune with me. Crazy. Love it.
The cork grip is insufficient, and the mute received a dent, a few scratches, and four strange long "seams" on the sides beneath the lacquer after the first drop from 10 inches to the laminate floor. If you look inside the mute, you'll notice that there are some deep cuts in the mute's surface. br>This level of quality is likely to be found in a low-cost Chinese knockoff, but not in a high-end product handcrafted in the United States.

After playing it on one gig, I returned it and paid the price for a new copper one. It sounds SO much better and richer than what I had become accustomed to. Take a chance and go for it. this model made of copper If you've never used this copper model before, the silver one might suffice, but if you're replacing an old copper model, like me, the silver one won't suffice.
The silence is fantastic. I like the sound, and the stem has the same bite as other brands, but this dark tone is unmatched by any other mute I've used in my 45 years of performing. br>br>This dealer earns my praise for excellent customer service and a personal touch that made me feel like my purchase was important to them and valued. A handwritten note with your name on it is second to none. My last note from a dealer came in 1980, when I was given a hiking tent as a birthday present. br>br>Excellent dealer, excellent product.
