What is a good horn mute?

The horn mute is often required in the musical repertory, a prime example being Gustav Mahler’s Seventh Symphony. It is imperative to have a mute that offers good sound, intonation and a secure feeling.

With mutes, the conversation often turns to resistance, because resistance often influences sound and intonation. The challenge in developing a good mute is to find the optimal balance of it’s attributes. Through cooperation with well-known professional hornists, it has been possible to build a mute that incorporates all of these qualities.

The mute has a balanced, open sound with very good intonation throughout all registers. We’re especially pleased with the excellent articulation.


Daniel Adam, Solo Horn Deutsche Oper Berlin.

Each mute has a little difference, good in low and high registers and a nice warm clear sound!

Takeshi Hidaka, NHK Tokio

Can be played loudly without losing the characteristic muted color. Ideal for Mahler’s symphonies… Intonation is good, and it is balanced in all registers.
