The RGC 12-Sided Cherry and Ash Straight Mute combines cherry's focused character with ash's ability to temper its brightness. The result is an option worth considering when blending with other players is a priority.
Compared with the solid cherry model, the cherry-and-ash version offers a less bright tonal direction. Differences between wood combinations are more pronounced in RGC's 12-sided mutes than in its conical designs, making this model a useful choice for players seeking a particular muted color.
As a straight mute, it serves the distant, far-away sound associated with straight-muted horn passages, rather than the brassier effect of a stop mute.
