Softone CG188L Trombone Practice and Bucket Mute - Large | Piano Gallery, Idaho Falls

The Softone CG188L Trombone Practice and Bucket Mute delivers innovative dual functionality in a large size design that serves as both practice and bucket mute for versatile performance applications on larger bore trombones. Made from durable soft-neoprene construction, this professional-grade mute eliminates concerns about dents or lost corks while accommodating larger bell sizes, making it an ideal choice for bass trombone players and musicians with large bore tenor trombones seeking reliable, damage-resistant equipment that maximizes case space efficiency.

Product Overview

The CG188L mute represents Softone's commitment to innovative brass accessory design, incorporating soft-neoprene construction that revolutionizes traditional mute durability and maintenance concerns for larger trombone applications. The dual-function design allows trombonists to achieve both practice mute volume reduction for quiet practice sessions and bucket mute tonal effects for performance applications, eliminating the need to carry multiple mutes and saving precious case space. The large size configuration ensures proper fit for bigger bells commonly found on bass trombones, large bore tenor trombones, and professional instruments requiring enhanced acoustic volume.

The soft-neoprene material offers significant advantages over traditional metal and cork construction, preventing the dents and damage that commonly occur with conventional mutes during transport and storage. The innovative design eliminates cork components that frequently break, loosen, or require replacement, reducing long-term maintenance costs and ensuring consistent performance reliability. This construction approach provides consistent fit and seal characteristics that maintain optimal mute function over extended use, particularly important for larger instruments that traditionally pose greater challenges for secure mute placement.

The mute's dual functionality makes it particularly valuable for bass trombone players and large bore instrument musicians who often require specialized equipment that can be difficult to find and expensive to maintain. Whether used for apartment practice sessions requiring significant volume reduction or ensemble performances calling for distinctive bucket mute effects, the CG188L delivers reliable performance across both applications while simplifying equipment management for professional musicians.
