Sshhmute Practice Mute – Bremner Music
Needing to practice at odd times and in odd places over the years (and the absence of a suitable mute) was the reason Trevor Bremner designed the sshhmute.
In development over several years in his New Plymouth workshop, the sshhmute is at long last in full commercial production and has been successfully launched to answer a market need for an effective mute in a price range to suit budding musicians and professionals alike.
The sshhmute is made from lightweight, yet hard-wearing, ABS plastic with no parts to break or fall off and it is sold in a convenient soft fabric carry bag.
Perhaps one of the primary benefits of the sshhmute design is the very small amount of back-pressure it creates. This allows for better air supply, while still opening and developing the throat muscles. The mute also remains in tune and faithfully accurate throughout the entire range.

The large bell mute is one-of-a-kind brass practice mute has almost no back-pressure and true tuning consistency throughout the range of the instrument… that’s why the sshhmute is the #1 choice for some of the world’s top brass players including:
– James Morrison (internationally acclaimed jazz artist)
– Joseph Alessi (Principal Trombone – New York Philharmonic)
– David Elton (Principal Trumpet – London Symphony Orchestra),
– and acclaimed ensembles such as; The Canadian Brass, Foden’s Band, Brassband Willebroek, and Wellington Brass.
