Description

Legendary Reputation

Humes & Berg has been producing professional-quality brass mutes for generations and is trusted by musicians worldwide for exceptional sound, durability, and innovation. The Model 175C continues this tradition by offering bass trombone players a symphonic straight mute with outstanding tonal control and reliability.

Symphonic Straight Mute Design

The Model 175C is specifically designed for bass trombone players who require a focused, controlled muted sound for orchestral and concert performance. Its straight mute design provides clarity and projection while maintaining the instrument’s natural depth and authority.

Copper Bottom for Added Warmth

The copper bottom construction enhances the tonal character of the mute by adding warmth, richness, and resonance. This creates a more refined and colourful muted sound compared with standard metal straight mutes, making it particularly suited for symphonic repertoire.

Balanced Tone and Projection

The Humes & Berg 175C offers an ideal balance between brightness and warmth. The metal construction provides clear articulation and projection, while the copper bottom helps soften the overall sound, producing a sophisticated tone that blends beautifully within an ensemble.
