‘PotStop’ is a stop mute whose feature is truly one-of-a-kind. This mute allows you to play stopping with a regular fingering on a score and also can be used for F, Bb, F/Bb double horn, and now even for Vienna horns!
Comfortable throughout the registers
The natural feel and well-sounding timber of PotStop are achieved by setting a new design concept that “sings with Hornâ€, while the others only eject the isolated stop sound from the fully-muffled bell. Along with other trustful factors such as pitch, intonation, and an ease of low registers, PotStop is just so comfy to play.
Powerful, loud, and brassy stop sound
The design approach of PotStop is not like any of the others, and it actually does not completely “stop/close†the bell. With this and the beautifully polished brass top, PotStop projects one of the loudest, most powerful, and the brightest brassy-sound in the market. Besides, lower harmonic overtones are blended by a copper material of the hidden inner bell, which makes the open sound become even richer and more HandStop-like.
Also a practice mute!
Here is one more feature we should share. If you play PotStop softly, you can use it as Warm-up/practice mute as it just makes peaceful sound at the softer level. Also, it actually has a great advantage that you can easily control/adjust the resistance with your right hand by opening or closing the top bell of PotStop.
