Best Trumpet Mutes of 2025

“This product works exactly as described. It mutes just enough of the vibrations to make a difference. When I practice my trumpet, no more ringing chandeliers after my last note. I understand some reviews about the dampening level, but for me, it’s perfect for a slight decrease in noise.”

“I've tried this mute, and while it’s okay, I find that the Harmon mute performs much better. Thank you!”

"As a professional trumpet player, I've tried numerous practice mutes, but this one is a game changer. The back pressure is minimal, and it allows me to practice without bothering anyone at home."

"I bought this mute in bright red and was pleasantly surprised. It's smaller, lighter, and just as quiet as my previous one, making it easy to find in my case."

"This mute truly works for silencing my trumpet practice. Though it can fall out sometimes, the price and quality make it the best option for quiet practice."

"This mute is exactly what I needed and effectively reduces sound. The pricing is great too!"

"I bought this for my daughter to practice her trumpet at home in our apartment. It fits into the top of the trumpet and mutes the sound to a respectable level, although it can still get a bit loud. We're both happy with it, so I recommend it!"

"I got this for my son who started playing trumpet in sixth grade. It has helped keep the peace at home during his practice sessions!"

"This is a very good mute that is not too big or heavy. It covers the whole bell, so the wah-wah comes out really good."

"As a professional trumpeter, I've used the same hardware store plunger for over 40 years, but I must say this one has a special sound I like even more. The little grip on the end makes it easier to articulate."

"My son enjoys this item a lot. He uses it almost every time he plays his trumpet."

"I've played the trumpet for 50 years and have tried various cup mutes, but the Denis Wick cup mute has been fantastic. The adjustable feature allows me to select the perfect sound, and it was in tune right from the start, needing very little adjustment. This product truly stands out!"

"When I travel, this mute is great. It fits perfectly in my instrument case and is quiet enough for hotel rooms without any complaints."

"This mute is a game changer for me. After 50 years of playing, I finally found one that has barely any back pressure. I can play in my apartment without bothering my neighbors, and it keeps my intonation intact. I’d give it ten stars if I could!"

"This product gives me the chance to play my trumpet around others without disturbing them. While it does occasionally fall out if I play too loudly or hold the trumpet downward, it’s a great value and effectively reduces the volume for practice."

"I needed a cup mute for a piece, and it has a nice sound. It’s interesting that it’s designed in California but made in China."

"I love this mute! It’s like having three mutes in one: a straight mute, a cup mute, and a practice mute. The sound is beautiful, and it helps me get accurate tuning."

"As a professional trumpet player, I’ve used many mutes, but this one is among the finest. It offers three distinct modes and an extendable cup for a mellow tone. I’d give it a 5-star rating!"

"This product should actually be called Quiet Brass, not Silent Brass. It doesn’t completely silence my trumpet, but it is a bit quieter than a Harmon mute without the stem. The Personal Studio does a fantastic job of turning the muted sound back into full spectrum. After not playing for 40 years, this allows me to play without disturbing my family while also feeding audio into my modular synthesizer for some fun mixing. It's a bit of a hassle with the intonation in the lower octave and the device feels a little cheap, but it’s unique functionality makes it worth the price."

"I really enjoy using this Silent Brass mute with my Yamaha horns, especially when I want to practice without disturbing anyone. I use my AirPods Max with it for noise cancellation, and it’s great for working on intonation. The added resistance of the mute helps me adjust the horn's pitch better. My brother gifted this to me, and I’d recommend it over a regular mute for its quality and the ability to hear myself clearly while practicing!"

"This device has truly changed the game for me! Living in an apartment, practicing my trumpet was a challenge. Now, I can practice without bothering the neighbors. I can still hear a little noise, but it's faint. My friend loves it too—no ear popping or pressure while playing. Just keep in mind to have AA batteries ready, as they don’t come included. Overall, it's worth every penny!"
