Best Mute: Joral bubble Mute

Buy on Amazon

Compared with other products by Joral, the joral bubble mute has a convenient design. It's like you're in an art deco house and everything is magical. The Jo Ral copper harmon has great projection, a nice & dark timbre and spot on intonation in all registers. It could fit if you replaced the cork with a custom piece that's shaved to match the taper of your pocket trumpet bell. If you are a trumpet player and never do arm flexibility stretches, this mute will accentuate that necessity.

It's best to hold while playing because it is a bit heavy. The cork does work great at inserting and holding the mute in. It's a great bubble mute.

Dark and organic with a consistent sizzle throughout the range of the horn
Delivers what they promise
