FROM MERF:
the first mute of its kind, a hybrid between traditional mute making and modern 3D printing techniques. merf has created the best mute you don’t own yet.
pairing our flexible top from the gumby and a traditionally spun metal bottom made by a master metal spinner (not flexible, duh) allows for the adjustability of our fully flexible gumby mute while creating the tonal colors and response of a traditional metal mute.
available in aluminum, brass, copper, bronze - x, and bronze - y.
all metal gumby mutes are shipped with both an acrylic and brass screw
aluminum.
color: buzzy, bright, tons of highs, lots of sound, light.
response: fast, snappy, clear.
best for: all-rounder, cutting through ensemble with minimal effort.
brass.
color: brilliant, buzzy, compact body, even across the range, lots of mids
response: open but precise, takes what you give it.
best for: blowing the walls down, stay stable at extreme dynamics.
copper.
color: thick rich buzz, dark, beefy, most transparent at soft dynamics.
response: more dense, takes what sound you give it.
best for: orchestral, band, need darker/more blended sound.
