Rittich style wooden mute. Brand new design being used by many British horn players. Developed for clear tone and solid intonation.

"It has been a closely guarded secret for many years among the best European brass players that wooden straight mutes give a very special tone color, especially in soft playing. Because they must be handmade, these mutes have always been expensive and hard to find. By using new and ingenious manufacturing techniques, it has been possible to produce these mutes at reasonable prices. Construction is of Finnish birch faced plywood for the the sidewalls and marine ply for the base .All models have a lining of vulcanized fiber." -Denis Wick
