'If you are looking to be able to produce something a little bit different in the muted stakes, then this beautifully crafted wooden straight mute is a gem.

It really does give a refined colour and texture, especially in the lowest dynamic range. 

Looks the part and plays the part – the Finnish Birch body is lined with a very hard inner material that makes for a very resonant mute that takes a bit of getting used to but rewards the intelligent performer in full.

Something to be brought out on those rare occasions when you are looking to just gild the musical lily – it’s worth it.' DW5551
