Softone CG188S Trombone Practice and Bucket Mute - Small | Piano Gallery, Idaho Falls
The Softone CG188S Trombone Practice and Bucket Mute delivers innovative dual functionality in a space-saving design that serves as both practice and bucket mute for versatile performance applications. Made from durable soft-neoprene construction, this professional-grade mute eliminates concerns about dents or lost corks while fitting 8" to 8.5" bells, making it an ideal choice for students and professionals seeking reliable, damage-resistant equipment that maximizes case space efficiency.
Product Overview
The CG188S mute represents Softone's commitment to innovative brass accessory design, incorporating soft-neoprene construction that revolutionizes traditional mute durability and maintenance concerns. 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 8" to 8.5" bell compatibility ensures proper fit for most small bore tenor trombones and many medium bore instruments, providing versatile compatibility across different trombone models.
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.
The mute's dual functionality makes it particularly valuable for musicians with limited case space or those who frequently switch between practice and performance situations. Whether used for apartment practice sessions requiring volume reduction or ensemble performances calling for bucket mute effects, the CG188S delivers reliable performance across both applications while simplifying equipment management for busy musicians.

- Professional trombonists seeking space-efficient dual-function mute solutions for travel and performance
- School band and orchestra musicians needing reliable mutes for both practice and performance applications
- Music educators requiring durable, low-maintenance equipment for classroom and ensemble use
