Denis Wick Product Specialist Mary Galime details the benefits, improved intonation, and enhanced sound that the Denis Wick fiber cup mute provides to students.
Could you use this mute with a bugle? Also would this type of mute be helpful for practicing in a household to mute the sound more so it's less disturbing? Thanks!
It would depend on the size of the bugle bell. These are specifically designed for Bb/C trumpet and cornet. If you are looking for a mute for quiet practice, the Denis Wick Practice mute will help you most. Some people also use their aluminum Denis Wick Adjustable cup for this effect. By shifting the cup all the way to the bell so it sits flush with the bell, you can drastically dampen the sound, however from a tuning and performance perspective, the practice mute will serve your purposes much better.
