  Foden's Band have taken the step to endorse the Sshhmutes range

Sshhmutes have added yet another significant endorsee to the growing list of high profile world class performers who are now choosing to use their products.

Following the recent recommendations from Black Dyke stars Siobhan Bates and Richard Marshall, Foden's Band has announced that they will now use entire range of Sshhmutes mutes.

Can't hear why

A Sshhmutes spokesperson told 4BR: "This is the first time that the players of an entire elite level band has taken the step of offering an endorsement — although given the quality and the outstanding characteristics of the mutes, you can — or can't in our case — hear why!"

They added: "Many of the best players in the UK are using the Sshhmute practice mute because they value the correct resistance, light weight and secure tuning — and to have such a wonderful band as Foden's add to that list is another huge boost."
