Original. Innovative.
With apologies for the delay: Current lead time for mutes is about 4 weeks, due to my many happy travels in playing recitals and with several orchestras, but this has put me a bit behind and I'm sorry for the added delay on my part. With thanks- Ilan
Morningstar Custom Mutes
Morningstar Trumpet Straight Mute
My standard Trumpet Straight Mute is a B2: medium-shallow with standard resistance.
BUT, if you want more control: here are some options: With cup depth ranging from A to E, and resistance 1 (most restrictive) to 3 (most open), and resonator materials including aluminum, brass, copper, rosewood, and LW Fiber, these mutes give lots of feel and sound options. Get yours for the reasonable introductory price of starting at $59.99

Skyline Bucket Mute
NEW! A collaboration with the jazz trumpet great Chad McCullough! When Chad approached me with the idea of collaborating on a bucket mute I was immediately interested. He experienced some of the same issues I have noticed as well: dead notes, inconsistent articulation, blow issues. We traded back and forth ideas for a long time before settling on this design....but we were still unhappy. We tried all the regular remedies to get the sound we wanted, but none gave us the response we wanted....until one day I had a realization: Use a diffuser to help the blow AND control the sound. It took lots of tweaking and changing and designing and printing, but after many months of work I am ecstatic to share the SKYLINE BUCKET for trumpet with the world! Trombone friends, don't worry, you're next! :) Morningstar Custom Mutes: Better by design!
