The DW5525 Stopping Mute features a high purity spun aluminum construction that replaces the hand for traditional hand stopping effect. The player just transposes the written music one-half tone lower to compensate for the shortening effect of overall length of the horn while using this mute.

For more than a quarter of a century, Denis Wick mutes have set standards of excellence that have made them the choice of the world's finest brass players. There are now mutes for most brass instruments, from piccolo trumpet to tuba. Brilliant straights, versatile cup and ET and innovative practice mutes, all beautifully made with great intonation.
