Opus Lightweight Aluminium Wow Wow Trombone Mute A trombone "wow-wow" mute, often referred to as a Harmon mute, is a type of mute that produces a distinctive "wah-wah" sound when used on a trombone. This effect is created by a sliding cup at the end of the mute, allowing the player to manipulate the sound by varying the opening. The mute itself is typically made of aluminum and is designed not to alter the pitch of the trombone. How it Works: Functionality: The wow-wow mute is inserted into the bell of the trombone. Sound Creation: The sliding cup at the end of the mute allows the player to control the amount of air that escapes, thus creating the "wah-wah" effect. Material: The mute is usually made of aluminum, which helps it to be free-blowing and not affect the pitch of the instrument. Popularity: This type of mute is well-known and has been used by famous jazz players to create a unique and recognizable sound. "Wow-Wow" Effect: The sliding cup is used to create the characteristic "wah-wah" sound, by varying the opening and closing of the cup, which gives the effect of the trombone "speaking" or making the "wah-wah" sound.
