Just bought the flugelhorn mute after spending a few weeks with my silent brass trumpet mute system. The mild resistance these mutes provide are well worth the quiet that silent brass system has brought to our home!
I've been using my Silent Brass Trumpet mute to create collaborative works with a pianist. This allows me to use the same techniques with a flügelhorn. I wish there were a similar mute for a piccolo trumpet.
Nice update on the mute design. Lighter and the new controller, with its reverb simulation, gives a nice concert hall sound. Very pleased, but the cost seems a bit excessive.
