Industry first! Equipped with a silencer capsule mechanism. Three interchangeable capsules provide various functions in one mute unit. Practice with sound-dampening functions tailored to your environment. A wide variety of colors are available! Choose your favorite color mute from 6 different color variations. It's a convenient size for carrying around, and can accommodate a bell (however, depending on the shape of the bell and case, it may not be possible to store it). Ultra-lightweight and high-strength! A special structure, only achievable with 3D printing, delivers both lightness and high strength. Sound-dampening capsules... These capsules offer a high level of sound dampening, reducing noise to the level of human speech. While they offer a bit of resistance when playing, their sound-dampening effect is so strong that you wouldn't hear them practicing in the next room unless you were paying close attention. Capsules optimized for playing feel… These capsules are designed to reduce resistance during playing. While the sound-dampening effect is moderate, they closely resemble playing without a mute, making them ideal for daytime practice where you don't have to worry about disturbing your neighbors. Tone-focused capsule… This capsule is filled with sponge to minimize tonal variations across all registers. It also features a moderate resistance, making it easier to play in the lower register.
