Straight Mute
A mute with a conical shape that creates a muted, but still bright and metallic sound.
Cup Mute
A mute that features a cup-like shape attached to the end, providing a softer, more mellow sound than a straight mute.
Harmon Mute
Known for its distinctive 'wah-wah' effect, it has a stem in the center that can be removed to change the sound.
Plunger Mute
Not a traditional mute, but a plumber's plunger used to create a 'do-wah' effect by moving the plunger closer to or further from the bell.
Practice Mute
Designed to lower the instrument's volume extensively for practice purposes without significant distortion of intonation.
Bucket Mute
Attaches to the bell of the instrument and is filled with soft material, giving a velvety, less bright sound.
Solotone Mute
Features a small megaphone shape, creating a nasally, distant sound often used for specific effects in jazz.
Whispa Mute
Also known as a 'whisper mute', it is used when an extremely soft sound is required; it has minimal effect on the intonation.
