The modern-day horn mute is made of cardboard, aluminum, or a thin wooden veneer. Our mutes, however, are made with a fiberglass shell, wrapped by a high-quality veneer. 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 brass 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.
