The Harmon mute is one of the most popular and legendary mutes in the world. A side by side comparison of 9 new and vintage mutes with a history of the company.
Quite possibly the most popular mute out there, and certainly the most recognizable sound, the Harmon mute is a staple in nearly every trumpeters collection.
In this week's #mutemonday video I explore all of the current models of the Harmon brand "wow-wow" (most people just refer to it as a Harmon) as well as some interesting vintage Harmon brand mutes dating all the way back to the mid 1920s.
I discuss and demonstrate the following Harmon mutes:
Model A, B, C-A, L, D-A, D-C, Swingmaster, 1925 Stamped, and a 1930s copper.
This video is not sponsored, but the new mutes were provided to me by Harmon so that I could compare all of the current models. All opinions are my own.
