Trumpet Straight Mutes

Trumpet Mutes made of wood! These two barrel mutes are not made from segmented wood staves that are small pieces cut on a saw and then glued together and turned. Rather, these are turned from a solid block of wood - either one piece, or 2-3 slabs glued together. In that way, there is less chance of breakage due to a glue joint failure, and the wood pieces will generally match for each barrel.
