The modern-day horn straight mute is made of cardboard, aluminum, or a thin wooden veneer. We wish we could tell you what our mutes are made of, but then we would have to "mute" you. The fundamental difference in a Balu Mute, as compared with your average straight mute, is its ability to produce a clear and responsive, highly-resonant sound. The inside tip protects the mute from becoming deformed by wear and tear, an important aspect in protecting the longevity of the mute. In addition, we apply seven coats of lacquer, providing a sleek finish.

We offer two sizes for the straight mute (the MS mute is 1/8" smaller than the reg. size), as well as eleven different color options. All of our Straight Mutes sound the same regardless of the finish color.

All of our straight mutes are tunable, and have an attached string. We send out our mutes with a 6" string, but we can customize the lenght of your string upon request.
