Soulo Harmon Mute with Copper Bottom!

Everything I want and need in a harmon mute - great sizzle - much lighter weight than the Joral Copper Bubble Mute while still achieving great sound - no need to blow hot air into your bell and jam it in hoping it won't fall out - the neoprene works exactly as advertised. Excellent quality and ease of playing - the nano practice mute option perfect for being a good neighbor when playing too early or too late into the evening.

This particular harmon shines in a small group context, preferably on a mic. You'll have to work a bit harder to cut in a big band section (due to its strong low end resonance). I've retained my Jo-Ral bubble for this purpose. Overall, a great sounding mute.

I like that it doesn’t have cork

A very nice mute. It evens fits in the bell of the "Andalucia" Power Bell Bb Bugle. But in the same breath I have to add, barely. I called Josh on this and he did say that a hobby store would sell foam rubber in sheets and I could cut out a section to make a better seal for this trumpet. I'll try that, in the mean time, I do like the sound and the free blowing effect the mute offers, definitely a louder sounding mute for jazz band. The two tone effect of aluminum and copper is really cool.

It came almost immediately. Looks beautiful and not only plays with a zing but sings as well (and this from an only mediocre player). Only drawbacks I can fund is that it too often drops out of the bell of my New York Bach, and is a little mushy in the extreme lower register (G, F#) though that could be as much me as the mute. Upper register (High C, etc, no problem).

Incredible! Was previously using a Bobby Shew harmon, which sounds great on a mic, but a bit of work to cut in a big, and heavy because it is all copper. The Soulo harmon is phenomenal, great sound, definitely capable of achieving a small group "Miles-esque" sound, and doesn't take much work to cut in an ensemble. Intonation is superb. Playing down to F# is effortless, upper register is not stuffy, in fact the blow of the horn feels relatively unchanged. On top of all of that it is lightweight, and the material used to keep the mute in the bell is much more secure than traditional cork. The combination of copper and aluminum is perfect. It retains the color that many of us are after, allows for the mute to be versatile, not just solo work, all while not weighing you down. For the price, this mute is a must!
