F Huber Kellso Pixie Mute - Trumpet
Product Information
This is the Huber Kellso Pixie for Trumpet with the round bottom. The design is based on the vintage and sought after vintage mutes used by Jon-Erik Kellso. Huber have collaborated with him to bring this mute back to the market. These Kellso Pixie mutes have a really great Pixie sound and retain a very open feel, and best of all they retain low note quality.About Huber Mutes
New from the USA, these Huber Mutes for Trumpet are glorious to play and look at! Inspired by classic mutes that are now out of production, each model undergoes months of design and testing before going into production.
Each mute is 3D printed with PLA plastic (a multi-hour process). The mutes are then hand-painted, labeled, varnished and corked. Every mute is produced in limited numbers at their in-house facility in Brooklyn, New York. All our Huber mutes come with traditional cork fittings.

F Huber Kellso Pixie Mute - Trumpet Reviews
The Kellso Pixie, by Huber is a great little mute. I use it on a Bach Strad long model cornet. It stays in tune right down to the F#, and delivers a good straight mute sound throughout the range. In other words, you could use it as a regular straight mute, though I wouldn't recommend it in a section unless they're all using them! Because the "nipple" (as Jon-Erik calls it) adds 4 or 5 mm to the overall length of the mute, you do need quite a deep plunger in order for it to be tight to the bell - though of course on other makes of horn the mute may sit further back inside the bell. You could adjust the corks too... For me, it is fine just as it is. If you're after a vintage sound, in the manner of Bubber Miley, Louis Metcalf or early Cootie Williams etc, this mute will deliver what you're after.
