Harmon X1 - Trumpet Mute

The Harmon mute is one of the most recognizable accessories in the history of jazz, known for the trumpet's characteristic, metallic, muted sound. Harmon has been making mutes for wind instruments since the 1920s, and their sound is associated with recordings by musicians such as Miles Davis.

Use and sound

The mute is inserted directly into the bell of the trumpet, muffling and distorting the sound in a characteristic, buzzing way. The X1 model is the simple version, without a movable stem that adjusts how open the sound is, valued for the classic, subdued tone used in jazz and big-band music.

Construction

The mute is made of polished brass in a silver finish, which ensures durability and an attractive look. The product comes from the USA, from a factory continuing the tradition of the original Harmon mutes from nearly a hundred years ago.

Who it's for

The mute suits trumpet players performing jazz, swing and big-band music who are looking for the authentic, classic sound known from recordings by legendary musicians.
