Hercules HA100 Mute Holder for Cornet, Trumpet, Trombone & French Horn

The Hercules HA100 is a multi–mute stand designed to hold four brass instrument mutes simultaneously, addressing a practical problem that session players and gigging musicians face on stage or in the studio. Built by Hercules, a manufacturer known for robust instrument stands, the HA100 employs a rotating ring system with protective foam padding to keep mutes accessible without cluttering your performance space. Its 270° swivel capability and universal stand attachment make it equally at home clamped to a mic stand during a live show or mounted beside a recording setup.

The holder accommodates mutes across four different ring sizes: one 74 mm diameter ring, two 63 mm rings, and one 47.5 mm ring–dimensions that cover cornet, trumpet, trombone, and French horn applications. Each ring features specially formulated foam padding to prevent mute marking and damage. The unit clamps securely to stands with shaft diameters between 8 mm and 30 mm, with a maximum load capacity of 5 kg and a modest weight of 0.5 kg, making it portable enough to travel between venues without adding burden to an already packed rig.

Brass players working in pit orchestras, function bands, or recording sessions benefit most from the HA100's efficiency–switching mutes mid–performance becomes seamless when all four options hang within arm's reach. The foam–padded rings preserve mute finishes and cork seals that would otherwise degrade from repeated handling or rough stand contact. It's particularly valuable in arrangements requiring quick tonal shifts, where reaching for a distant table or gig bag wastes precious seconds during performance.
