I just got the Harmon B Wa Wa mute today and I think a review where I compare my Harmon Wa Wa mute for years to the new model B would be best understood with a video with actual playing of both mutes so people can hear the difference. I hope that is achieved with this my first video review!

This mute has been the topic of many arguements between my trumpet playing friends and I. Some think this in the best "Harmon style" mute available. Others, like me, think this mute leaves much to be desired. Certainly it provides the characteristic buzzy or wah-wah sound desired by a Harmon mute. However, the resitance and back-pressure caused by this mute cannot be ingnored. Personally, I prefer using the Jo-Ral Bubble Mute.Jo Ral TPT-2A Aluminum Trumpet Bubble Mute. The Jo-Ral model is more free blowing and seems to have better pitch tendencies (like being more in tune!). In addition, I personally like the cork better on the Jo-Ral mute as it feels more secure in my trumpet. For the small difference in price, I would definitely recommend the Jo-Ral Bubble mute. If budgets are a concern, the Harmon brand mute would suffice. If possible, try them both out to see for yourself. It might even help prevent some arguements in the trumpet section!

My son is a music major in college. When he asks for equipment he wants good ones. As a mom with children in college I want a good value. I bought this for him and he was delighted with it. It was exactly what he wanted and needed and I got the value I needed This is a great value!Harmon B Model Aluminum Trumpet Wow-Wow Mute

My son wanted this mute for his trumpet and loves it. Amazon saved me a lot of time instead of going to music stores after music stores looking for it.

Great product, Cool sounds! I purchased this for my 16 y/o daughter, and she LOVES it. I am not a trumpet player, but this sounds great and she is very pleased with it. Apparently, it is also the IN type and brand of mute among her musician friends.

Shipper must have seen my review because they contacted me to resolve my problem. It seems I sent my inquiry to the wrong email address. Shipper promptly investigated my claim and very quickly determined that I should have a new item shipped.

Shipper did not wait for me to return damaged item. Shipper immediately shipped out a new item. I must apologize to shipper since once they learned of my issue, it was immediately and favorably resolved.

I received this item to be given to my son as a Christmas gift. The item arrived damaged with a dent. I contacted the shipper who failed to respond to my inquiry.
