Sounds great!
Handmade in Spain, the RGC Conical Black Ash Straight Mute offers a richer sound than the dry, clarity-focused character of the standard ash model. It is an option for hornists who prefer that richer tonal direction within RGC's conical range.
The body combines ash wood and natural fibers, with a copper-reinforced top opening. An adjustable internal tuning rod lets you vary tuning and timbre to explore how the mute responds with your instrument.
Rubber cork helps secure the mute in the bell, and a leather cord provides a handling aid during changes. A satin lacquer and natural-wax finish completes the mute, which comes with a cloth bag and adjustable drawstring.
The tonal differences between materials are subtler in RGC's conical models than in its 12-sided designs, so consider your preferred color rather than assuming one shape is inherently better.
