Handmade in Spain, the RGC Conical Ash Straight Mute offers a dry, clear sound with crisp attacks. It is worth considering if you prioritize definition and clarity over a richer muted color.
The conical body is made from ash wood and natural fibers, with a copper ring reinforcing the top opening. An adjustable internal tuning rod allows you to vary tuning and timbre as you find the response and color you prefer with your horn.
Rubber cork provides grip at the bell, while a leather cord offers a handling aid during mute changes. The mute has a satin lacquer and natural-wax finish and includes a cloth bag with an adjustable drawstring.
RGC's conical and 12-sided designs function the same acoustically, but tonal differences between materials are less pronounced in the conical models.
