Title: Sturdy mute that works almost as advertised
Product review: I live on the third floor of an apartment building and play with a local community band. The literature that we perform is challenging enough that because I'm not a native euphonist, I still need to practice our music on my own time. This Denis Wick practice mute does a great job of suppressing the sound coming from my instrument so that I don't disturb the neighbors. From my experience, pitch does go a little high when playing with the mute, and while resistance is not a problem in the mid and upper ranges of the instrument, the stuffiness in the lower register naturally makes it more difficult to center pitch.If there are facilities that are available to you in which you can practice freely, then by all means use those. This mute is for those of us who reside in apartment buildings and shared living arrangements and do not have a viable alternative. The Denis Wick practice mute is perfectly suitable for my needs.
