Denis Wick Wooden Straight Mute
Made in England
"Description: The Denis
Wick range of wooden mutes is designed to provide modern brass players
with a mute which sounds great, even at the quietest of dynamics. This
mute will carry on working even at the end of an extreme diminuendo -
it will allow the tone to drop almost nothing. Denis Wick has achieved
this by a unique construction method which uses beautiful wood, with
all its natural attributes of strength and resonance, and a very hard
inner lining, made of a hi-tech modern material, which gives rigidity
and enhances the acoustic properties of the mute.
The use of wooden mutes is popular in European orchestras and
helps create that distinctive muted sound which is so useful in
nineteenth-century orchestral music. They are especially useful when
used in opera, where often a very soft pianissimo is required. Denis
Wick wooden mutes can be found in many leading opera houses around the
world, including the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden and the Teatro
alla Scala, Milan.
The Denis Wick wooden French horn mute is the choice of mute for
many professional horn players around the world. With its perfect
intonation, beautiful tone and instant response it is the leading mute
of its kind. It has adjustable tuning which allows the mute to be
adapted to suit every kind of French horn.
The mutes are very light and resonant, and are also very rigid.
They are all individually hand-crafted. The bases are made from a solid
piece of marine ply and the wooden 'cone' from Finnish birch wood. The
inner lining is applied by a special method which ensures maximum
strength and resonance.
Denis Wick wooden mutes are used widely in bands and in
orchestras: their excellent intonation and all-round performance makes
them a great choice for any brass player. They are made in different
sizes for most brass instruments, including all brass band and
orchestral brass instruments, from Eb trumpet/soprano cornet down to
BBb tuba" ...from their website.
