If you are looking for a mute that delivers excellent intonation across all registers, the Denis Wick Tuba Practice Mute is yours for the taking. The good thing about this black coloured practice mute is the excellence in intonation and pitch that it offers.

Unlike some other tuba mutes, the Denis Wick does not possess excessive resistance or any deficiency in pitch. Instead, this mute ensures that almost all sounds are stopped while retaining accurate intonation and stable pitch, while also providing you with the perfect level of resistance.

The mute weighs 4.3 pounds and is ideal for teaching or practising needs. They offer the right sound needed for silent practising. If you have a large vintage tuba, this is the mute you will need to keep it quiet without losing the right sound and intonation.

Here is another great silent brass model from a reliable brand—Yamaha. This time, the PM1X tuba mutes feature great flexibility as such you can easily take it apart for a compact size packing and storing.

Yamaha craftsmanship in this mute enables the player to adjust it so it can fit in with different bell sounds. The ability to adjust it also means you can get a perfect match for your pitch and comfortable feel when playing.

One of the good things about silent brass models is that they do not protrude from the bell of your tuba, compared to older models. Therefore, you can improve the balance you want when playing.

The adjustable nature of this device makes it possible to use it C, Bb, E and F horns.

Most people who use tuba mutes are conversant with the renowned silent brass practice mute, of which the SB1X is an upgrade.

Released in 2016, the SB1X is indeed a silencer that fits securely inside the bell of your tuba when not assembled. Because of their secure fit, they are very easy to carry about to anywhere compare to other designs.

Apart from the fact that it allows you to practice in near silence, the SB1X also amplifies the sound of your sound, taking it to a little mixing box and your earphones. By this, you can hear your sound in clear terms, reducing the desire to increase the tempo unnecessarily.

Have you ever come across a deluxe series mute that has a tuning tube? Well, here is one of such, and it’s just amazing in what it does.

The Trumcor features a one-of-a-kind tuning tube that rotates right within the chimney of your tuba. As the tube turns and rotates the holes within the chimney open and closes, which allows either louder or lesser sound to flow and all the way down the length of the tube? By doing this, the tuba mute can finetune and recreates the intonation.

The Trumcor features a wooden material, together with a functional fibre material that has formulated resonant. With Trumcor, you can easily play the sound that you want in the right pitch and intonation, yet without disturbing the peace of your neighbour.

Ask yourself; if you are the one at the receiving end of a disturbing tuba, how would you feel? That is why tuba mutes like the Denis Wick were created to give you near silence while enjoying you tuba playing.

The body of this Denis Wick tuba version features aluminium construction, which is hand-spun. The DW5518 provides a crisp muted sound that makes ideal for teaching and practice sessions.

As if that isn’t enough, this tuba mute also ensures you get excellent intonation levels with well-balanced response in all of your tuba’s instrument. There is no doubting the design offered by a company that excels in brilliance and projection.

Would you like to know what the Balu Mute is made of? Of course, that would be nice, but we are being ‘mute,’ (pardon my pun), thanks to its ability to create a bright, responsive and highly resonant sound.

Featuring a cardboard-like design, the Balu XL does not give questionable intonations or wrong notes throughout the length of the registers.

The Balu XL effectively redirects the air produced by your tuba to give you that quiet sound that will make you play or practice discreetly. A seven coat of lacquer finish adds to the overall quality and durability of this mute. It is available in eleven different colour options from which you can choose.

Featuring the same mahogany wood veneer and fibreglass construction, the Balu Regular Series Tuba mutes offers a revolutionary way to mute the devastating noise of your tuba.

What makes this tuba mute unique is the three different levels of mute cork it features. These, with the aid of Velcro strap, are attached to the side of the mute. This makes it possible for you to adjust the mute to give you the fit that matches your instrument type.

It is more interesting that you can switch the thick layer of the cork so you can use it on another instrument. Moreover, it offers an excellent level of intonation and clarity across every register, and it comes with a side handle. The Balu Regular Series Tuba Mute is the mute you can get to work with different instruments due to its versatility.
