For instance, users can tackle ensemble passages without blinking thanks to consistent pitch when switching from open to closed (tight) plunger. What’s more, this Hirschman Mutes plunger mute also lessens fatigue and increases endurance with better intonation — that means less “lipping” of notes.Hirschman Mutes’ two centsWhile some players modify their sound capabilities by drilling holes into their mute, some players dislike this method and instead opt for carrying a variety to get the sound they want. Hirschman Mutes delivers a solution to this problem with the Kenny Penny venting system. Simply turn the outer penny, and a secondary inside penny closes the plunger hole. Kenny Rampton has told Sweetwater how much he uses the closed method when playing over a straight mute, while he uses the open method for pure plunger mute excellence. This way, you can easily discover your ideal sound without having to severely modify your mute!Rhapsody in IndigoThe KR Indigo Big Blue Plunger Mute gets its striking color as a tribute to great player mutes such as Snooky Young and Clark Terry’s blue plungers, and the iconic mute sound on Duke Ellington’s standard "Mood Indigo." Comfortable and built to last, the Plunger Mute’s silicon construction makes it less prone to drying and cracking while its large hand grip fits easily in the hand. Designed for both tenor and bass trombone, the KR Indigo Big Blue Plunger has been tested by the likes of Dave Taylor and Earl McIntyre and improved thanks to their feedback.
