You saved me a ton of time. Thank you!

[@bellamckinnon8655]

Thank you very much!

[@balrampillai5314]

That wah-wah sound settled a lot of questions for me. Great demo.

[@kuro_rose6409]

I’m only here because I didn’t know that muted/muffled trumpets existed until I played Don’t Starve and one of the Character’s voice is a mute trumpet lmfao

[@shadowking4139]

Me too

[@curtistetrick2298]

[@Glimmerlight90]

I'm here because of a random Facebook post that had pictures of different mutes. Lol

[@alexanderskrabacz3277]

this one i like to call the tactical suppressor. it’s very similar to the monolithic suppressor, but had a warmer tone

[@ubermensch3528]

This is an amazing video. I learned more than I anticipated. I am about to purchase my first trumpet since 1980. I was looking for a way to practice without waking, and or disturbing the family, and producing echoing throughout the entire house. I don't have a soundproof music room - yet. The practice mute will be perfect for me as I make my foray back into playing the trumpet. Thank you

[@jessemutebi2369]

I bought one to make my trumpet silent but then found out that’s not what this is for

[@woeg7610]

Dam that's what I thought 😂

[@randomgen9895]

same 😂

[@dmvconartists6657]

I'm not a trumpet player but that was really cool! Thanks

[@acer8123]

2:52 so thats where the trumpets from cartoon bgms come from.

[@KeenerThan]

So pleased to discover these superb instructional videos.
Thank you Dr Shook.

[@EmpressZenQuarian]

Thank you so much for this beautiful demostration. This video really helped with my teaching unit on trumpet mutes.

[@coffeepot3123]

Just beautiful instruments in looks and sound.

Trumpets are lucky. The best saxophone mutes cost hundreds of dollars

[@ericdaniel323]

For anyone reading, this is a great intro to the most common mutes but there are still others. For example, some big band stuff calls for a hat, so literally a derby hat, used sort of like a plunger. There is also a bucket mute, which clips to the outside of your bell. I played one piece in school that called for a Solo-tone mute. The school happened to have two, but I'm not aware of any other pieces that call for it (though there must be some or it wouldn't exist...). It sounded sort in between a straight mute and a cup mute as I recall.
Trumcor also sells the Lyric mute, which is like a straight mute made of wood with a little damping for a soft and mellow sound.
Phil Smith suggests a trumpet player can never have too many mutes of different styles and sound qualities. For example, he said he likes to play certain excerpts with a plastic Vincent Bach straight mute with a few cotton balls inside.

THANK YOU FOR SHARING THE MUSIC.

[@nyankonyanko2407]

very easy to understand. It's like a textbook.

[@petset77]

Check out Clyde McCoy and "Sugar Blues". Great use of the mute, and a song my parents seemed to always have on the record player.

[@BFDT-4]

OK, I have always loved the sound of the muted trumpet in recordings from the 40s, including Montovani, earlier pit orchestras of Rodgers and Hammerstein shows (South Pacific, King and I, etc.) in Original B'way casts.
Please, what kind of mute is being used there? :) Harmen (SP?) mute?
Also, in those recordings, did the brand/type of trumpet add anything to the sound?

[@JacquesBPoirier]

Thanks for this precious information that I needed and got from you.

[@papanino4415]

What's wrong with the practice mute? I'm thinking of learning the trumpet but live in an apartment that has no sound proofing whatsoever. I'd have to use this for most of my practice.

[@EmuUnit]

Now i know how to sound like that singer from Tones and I.

[@Hecatonicosachoron54]

Thanks I finally know what these things are

[@ramonhamm3885]

Do they use something like one of these mutes in the M*A*S*H theme song? It's hard to tell what the instrument is playing the melody.

[@petrzeman24]

thank you..

[@1Benevolent]

Very useful thank you

[@MonkeyDPirateKing]

Honeyhop Galaxy music uses muted trumpet :O

[@havip33]

Lol all i did was stuff like 3 paper towels in the bell not too far so you can get it it out but pretty far and just play

[@DeepFriedChurro]

FaZe Zanix it says it in the video. The practice mute.

[@dxmirr]

practice mute 100%

[@ajproductionsmusic]

Nice! I was expecting with the harmon mute for him to at least play a jazz lick. Come on Guys!!! jk. :-)

[@grancapoEstiqaatsi]

what is the problem in playing often with the practice mute?
I usually play, on a daily basis, first freely and then (when I come back home) with the practice mute.

[@TrumpetMasterClasseswithDrBria]

+grancapoEstiqaatsi The resistance of playing with a practice mute (any mute) is vastly different than playing without a mute. If you are too accustomed to playing with a practice mute, then playing without one will sound/feel weird. The resistance you are used to for any give note will feel different when played without the mute and often results in poor intonation and missed/chipped pitches. In other words, your calibration will be slightly off. Only use a practice mute if it is truly the ONLY option.

[@grancapoEstiqaatsi]

I understand. Thanks. The situation is this. I can practice freely during lunch time, but the amount of time is limited (45 - 60 min). then I have the opportunity, if I want, to practice again in the evening, but with the practice mute. Recently I'm using this time to practice with some play-a-long track, beacuse I can ear me and the track easily without make much noise. I thought it was a decent routine, given my possibilities

[@TrumpetMasterClasseswithDrBria]

+grancapoEstiqaatsi Sounds like you are making the most of your situation! Keep up the good work!

[@grancapoEstiqaatsi]

thank you again, and congratulations for your instructional videos. I will speak with my teacher too to have a feedback on the (potentially excessive) use of the mute. sorry for my English (I'm from Rome).

[@michaelfarayola2204]

Why do you not recommend the use of practice mute all the time?

[@TrumpetMasterClasseswithDrBria]

Because the resistance is different than when you play without the mute, so it changes your airflow and everything.

[@MarkWick]

I notice you are using a plastic mouthpiece. Why instead of metal?

[@GreenBoy9000]

What about the bucket mute?

[@TrumpetMasterClasseswithDrBria]

Indeed! There are a lot of other mutes, too. This video is just a brief overview of the most commonly-used mutes.

[@jenniferlmichael]

[@hiiexist479]
