A few months ago I asked about Tom Crown's Pixie... and now this one appears, and it's really cute. I would love to see a comparison between them. Please ! Keep it going with the Best Channel In The World about Mutes, awesome job 👏
I play the Tom Crown pixie for years now with a ‘normal’ hardware store plunger, this gives the authentic plunger sound. A comparison with the Tom Crown will be great. The Eb straight mute made by Denis Wick is also usable as a great pixy
@JoshRzepkaMusic Hi Josh, I’ve bought one of these mutes and I’m wondering wether to file the corks. How far into the bell should the mute sit? I’d be grateful for any advice, thanks Phil
Hi Phil, good to hear! When I spoke with Kenny, he said that he didn’t have to file the corks at all. I found that filing them just a little bit was the best for my Trumpet, it really just depends on the bell flare and how it plays for you. If it feels even playing chromatically from a low C down to a low F# then you are good to go, but if the low G and F# don’t lock in as well, try pushing it in a little bit further, or filing a little bit at a time.

Especially loved the way it sounded when you played with both mutes together. Another great video!
Sounds fantastic! Love that pixie / plunger combo
Josh: your *mute knowledge* is deep & your *mute skills* are fantastic! (Mutation?) 😎 Thank you for sharing with us.
Thanks!!
Nobody knows more about mutes than Josh.
Just noticed the *pep* mute coincidentally matches the beret Miles is wearing.
PEPEPEPEP 🎶
Oh nice, yes. But Miles really only used a harmon…but definitely the most famous muted trumpet sound.
