Best Brass’ straight has a dark and rich sound from its pianissimo in all registers, while it still is hard to accomplish that with traditional straight mutes. Especially, the difference in low registers is a definite advantage.Â
The edge of Best Brass’ Straight is covered by a special material which hardly affects its sound. This will prevent making a slight clicking/scratching noise, of which many of you have heard, and also protect the instrument from being damaged.
