Disassembles to Compact Size - The disassembled mute body halves can be stacked for compact storage, and may even allow the mute to be stored inside the tuba bell while inside its case or gig bag!*

However, the instrument may fit in other cases or gig bags from some manufacturers with the mute installed. Please confirm the fit independently. Do not stand the instrument on its bell when the mute is installed.

This gives you the ability to customize the feel and the pitch to find the perfect fit for your own instrument and playing style. In addition, this allows the mute to be adjusted for a wide range of bell sizes, making the same tuba mute usable with with Bb, C, Eb, and F horns. |
