Saxmute Soprano Saxophone Mute

New product

Saxmute will make your saxophone sound as quiet as a moderate conversation.
Plastic sax mutes have been well known for years. The idea of a small enclosure with sound absorbing material has well proved its efficiency. But known plastic mutes have serious issues with intonation, especially challenging in low register. Another issue is too constrained space for player's hands. That's why we developed this new sax mute for players, who want to practice easily and naturally over the whole saxophone range. We gave more space inside — for air to flow more easily, and experimented a lot with hand holes to make them comfortable for players with various physiques.

A mute with interesting properties

The ‘Saxmute’ mute is, both thanks to the materials used for its manufacture and its design, a convenient accessory to use as it is:

  • Resistant
  • Durable
  • Washable
  • Compact
  • Lightweight
  • Hygienic, as it does not retain the moisture created by the musician's breath

A mute with an ingenious mechanism

The ‘Saxmute’ mute for soprano saxophone consists of 3 elements that fit respectively at the mouthpiece, the neck and the bell.

Once installed, it will decrease the sound power by at least 50%. Even if this decrease creates a slight restraint in the air pressure, it will not hinder the emission and preserves the accuracy and homogeneity of sounds across the range.

« The Saxmute pushes me to work my diaphragm [...] and really decreases the volume which suits me because I live in a small Parisian apartment »

« The installation is simple and fast, thanks to an explanatory diagram[...] and through repetition, I feel more and more comfortable playing »
