Our Teachers' Review
A practice mute is a lifesaver for trumpet students who need to practice at home without disturbing others. The Denis Wick practice mute reduces the trumpet's volume dramatically while maintaining enough feedback for the player to hear themselves.
Our teachers recommend this for students in apartments, dorms, or households where noise is a concern. While we don't recommend practicing exclusively with a mute (it changes the resistance slightly), having one available means students can practice at any hour without worrying about noise complaints.
