Denis Wick Euphonium Mute (Travel)

The DW5587 Travel Mute for Euphonium represents a breakthrough in practice mute technology, developed through collaboration between Denis Wick and renowned euphonium virtuoso Steven Mead. This innovative mute addresses the common challenge faced by brass players who need to practice without disturbing others, whilst maintaining the quality and responsiveness essential for effective practice sessions.

Steven Mead describes this mute as "the perfect solution for players who wish to practice normally but who prefer not to disturb those around them." The design prioritises excellent tuning and free-blowing characteristics across the entire range, ensuring that practice sessions remain musically productive. Unlike traditional practice mutes that can produce muffled, anonymous sounds, this travel mute maintains clarity and resonance whilst operating approximately 5dB quieter than comparable silent practice mutes.

Weighing just 200 grams, the mute fits comfortably inside the bell of all euphonium models, making it ideal for transport in gig bags and hard cases. The construction features an internal cork damper and high-quality neoprene pads that create secure placement and contribute to the exceptionally soft sound output. A leather strap facilitates easy insertion and removal, whilst the cork lining and premium finish reflect Denis Wick’s commitment to manufacturing excellence.
