A mute on the ingenious mechanism

The mute Saxmute for alto saxophone is made up of 3 elements which are inserted respectively at the level of the spout, the pavilion and the jar.

Once installed, it will decrease the sound power of 50% at least. If this decrease creates a slight restraint in the pressure of the air, it does not interfere in any way with the emission and preserves the accuracy and the uniformity of the tones throughout the range. This restraint will allow the saxophonist to work more on its column of air as well as the centering of the sound.

"The Saxmute pushes me to work my diaphragm ... and actually decreases the volume this suits me because I live in a parisian apartment-cramped "

"The installation is simple and fast, thanks to an explanatory diagram well done [...] by dint of repetition, I feel more comfortable playing "
