Description

Legendary Reputation

Humes & Berg has been manufacturing world-class brass mutes for generations, earning the trust of professional musicians, educators, and students alike. The Model 111 continues this proud tradition with dependable performance and exceptional tonal versatility.

Two Mutes in One

The Du-All design allows the Model 111 to function as both a traditional wa-wah mute and a straight mute, giving players greater flexibility without carrying multiple accessories. This dual-purpose design makes it ideal for demanding rehearsals, performances, and recording sessions.

Classic “Wa-Wah” Effects

With its removable stem, the Model 111 produces the expressive “wa-wah” sound made famous by jazz legends and big band soloists. Players can achieve vocal-like tonal inflections, dramatic phrasing, and distinctive muted effects that bring performances to life.

Straight Mute Performance

When used without the stem, the mute functions as a high-quality straight mute, producing a focused, balanced tone with excellent projection and reliable intonation. This versatility makes it suitable for jazz, orchestral, concert band, and commercial repertoire.

Available in Four Premium Options

Choose the finish that best matches your preferred tonal character:

• Aluminium – Bright, lively response with excellent projection and quick articulation.
• Black Stonelined – Warm, controlled tone with reduced metallic edge and a modern appearance.
• Red & White Stonelined – The classic Humes & Berg design, offering the legendary warm Stonelined sound trusted by generations of musicians.
• All Copper – Produces a rich, dark, resonant tone with enhanced warmth and depth, making it an excellent choice for players seeking a more mellow muted sound.

Excellent Intonation

The Model 111 is carefully engineered to maintain accurate pitch across the trumpet’s full register. Whether used as a wa-wah or straight mute, it delivers dependable tuning with minimal adjustment.

Balanced Response

Consistent airflow and resistance provide smooth articulation, even tone, and comfortable playing throughout every register. Players benefit from predictable performance in both solo and ensemble settings.

Ideal for Multiple Musical Styles

The Humes & Berg 111 excels in jazz, big band, concert band, orchestral repertoire, musical theatre, commercial performance, and studio recording. Its dual-function design makes it one of the most versatile specialty mutes available.

Crafted in the USA

Every Model 111 is proudly manufactured in the USA using premium materials and precise craftsmanship. Built for years of reliable use, it continues Humes & Berg’s tradition of producing high-quality brass accessories.
