Dear Tuba players, we are very excited to announce the making of our new and revolutionary tuba mute. Why revolutionary? For several reasons: Like our world famous horn mutes, our tuba mute has great resonance in all registers with NO fuzzy, stuffy, or distorted notes.
Also, we invented a new interchangeable cork system which finally solves the continuous nuisance that all tuba players face... how to find a mute that will fit more than one tuba, given the great number of brands, and sizes. We found the solution, and it only takes a few minutes to find the corks that will fit your instrument. Do you want to use your other tuba? Quickly change the corks, and your new mute will fit your other instrument.
We recommend for the very large tubas ( 5/4, 6/4) our XL mutes.
You will receive your Balu tuba mute with 3 cork sizes, from which you can find the perfect size for your tuba.
For easy handling, your tuba mute will have attached a sturdy leather handle.
To protect your bell from unwanted dents and noises, we coated the tip with a thin cork.
We proudly stand behind our products, so we offer a 90 day money back guarantee.
I'm just loving my Balu mute! It's the first mute that I ever played that plays in tune! No matter what I'm playing in the Philharmonic, my Balu mute sounds great, and looks great too! Buy it now! you won't be disappointed!

The mute is one of the best (if not the best) tuba mutes that I have played. The pitch is spot on and it responds evenly in all registers. Also I've gotten lots of positive comments from my colleagues about how nice it looks! (...) A great mute.
