Balu Musik - Tuba Mute - USED

THIS IS A USED ITEM IN GOOD CONDITION

After many attempts to create a good tuba mute, Mr. Balu decided on a more radical design. He found the perfect balance between an even muted sound throughout all registers and a light yet rugged construction. Our tuba mutes weigh on average from 2-3 lbs. (XS – XL).

The result is a mute that tubists from around the world (Japan, Australia, Finland, Brazil, South Korea, Singapore, Thailand, even China) along with an overwhelming majority of American players, have come to appreciate for its clear sound and projection.

The Design

Our three-size interchangeable corks (a Balu innovation) allow our tuba mutes to fit into any size bell on the market today. Three feet on the base of the tuba mute will keep your mute safely on the floor without scratching the lacquer, while two small feet on the side of the base opposite the handle (a Balu innovation) allow the player to position the mute in a horizontal resting position, essential for quick and convenient access. The cork at the top protects the bell from mute-related dents when quickly inserted into the horn.

The Fit

We recommend our XL mutes for the very large tubas, such as 5/4 and 6/4 C tubas, our regular size for 4/4 C tubas, and our XS mutes for all Eb and 3/4 F tubas. If in doubt about which size you will need, we have sold so many tuba mutes that you can ask fellow tuba players on forums such as Facebook, Reddit, etc.

We offer our tuba mutes in the following finishes:

• Black Onyx
• Red Mahogany
• Walnut
• Amber
