Well made but not a good practice mute
RML91 08.07.2018
Cons:
Quarter tone sharp making it impossible to practice in tune.
Not actually that quiet for a practice mute.
Doesn't fit in the bell of the trumpet for ease of storage in the case.

Sold immediately and bought another brand.

Test before Buy

I bought this mute for my Stomvi Elite piccolo trumpet as it claimed to fit a High Bb piccolo trumpet on Thomann's website.

It did not.
Wallace mute has different mutes for piccolo trumpets.
This compact mute was too big for piccolo trumpet, at least for a long-model piccolo trumpet.

I then tried to fit the mute on normal Bb trumpets, a Lawler C7 and a Burbank X5, the mute was hardly fit and it was nothing like the bestbrass practice mute which fits almost inside the bell. The TWC-M117 mute is mostly outside the bell.

The mute did fit cornets (Yamaha and Besson) but I don't find it stable (sound, intonation, stability on the bell).

Regarding the build quality, the stem within the mute was not centred.
I own a Wallace TWC-M17 studio practice mute which is fantastic. Sadly the TWC-M17"C" (compact) is nothing close to the M17.
