With a bewildering choice of cornet mutes on the market, Grenville Moore from John Packer Ltd is certainly the man to contact if you want to make yourself heard the right way!
Denis Wick:
Still the brass band world’s best known mute brand — and one that has gained a well deserved reputation for excellence (and a Queen’s Export Award) for their quality.
Found in virtually every band room on the banding globe, the Denis Wick range outsells all others by a huge margin. The mutes are well designed, lightweight and play pretty well in tune throughout the full cornet range. They also represent good value for money.

Straight Metal Mute:
The DW5504 aluminum straight trumpet/cornet mute is the iconic best seller, and has pioneered the same range for all other brass band instruments.
The reason is simple: You can’t go wrong with one. It does the job it was designed to do — and does it brilliantly.
Adjustable Cup Mute
Similarly, the Denis Wick DW5531 adjustable cup mute is the perfect partner mute – with the same quality of design and flexibility. It does its job perfectly too.

Humes & Berg Straight Fibre Mute:
The famous red and white design means just one thing for any player: This is the fibre mute of choice.
It is the essential ‘go to’ brand for fibre straight mutes — and there is a reason why.
From the best pro players to the cornet player who knows what they want the Humes & Berg fibre gives a wonderfully individual sound that is blends perfectly either as a soloist with band or as an entire section.

Mike McLean Practice Mute:
No contesting bandsman should be without a practice mute – and none come better than this cracking mute from Mike McLean.
Mike is a real enthusiast and mute making artist and has in fact created all sorts of mutes for specific tasks for many of our top bands.
He works in glass fibre, which he believes gives this mutes exceptional characteristics — and that is certainly the case with the practice mute.
How many times have you wanted to blow a few notes to put your mind at rest whilst waiting at the side of a contest stage? Now you can.
All this and Mike can produce his range of mutes in just the right colour to match just about any band uniform!
