By redirecting the airflow, we have reinvented the practice mute which now has the same quiet sound but has negligible Air Resistance. Why is Air Resistance important? Besides the numerous and more common answers, think of this: It is a known fact that playing too long on a practice mute affects your intonation. And our Theory has a solution. A mute that has a lot of Air Resistance (all of them), it causes you to unconsciously adjust the air pressure to compensate the air resistance. Once you quit playing on a regular practice mute you find yourself having a problem keeping the center of the sound focused, so the pitch fluctuates.
The solution is our practice mutes, which eliminates this problem because they have negligible AIR RESISTANCE.
We are proud to introduce our newly redesigned third generation of practice mutes.
While no other practice mute on the market came close to our second generation of practice mutes, we have developed the third generation of practice mutes that feature an even improved air flow which gives them a negligible air resistance and unprecedented hand craftsmanship.
Our practice mute does not distort the sound.
Have you ever had to play an exposed solo or even just one soft note during the middle of a movement for which you were not able to warm up? Was having to play cold an uncomfortable experience for you? Here is one of the times when having a Balu practice mute comes in handy! You can use our practice mute DURING the performance to get ready for your big moment without ANYONE hearing you. This has been a big topic in our consumer feedback.
