Hirschman Chicago Stinger Trumpet Mute - Gen II+

Co-designed with Kenny Rampton of the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra, the world's best buzz mute just got better.  The Hirschman Mutes Chicago Stinger Gen II+ is inspired by the buzz mutes of yesteryear, and has been redesigned from scratch with 100% custom components, engineering, and technology to provide the best intonation, slotting, playability, and BUZZ across the entire range of the trumpet at any price.
