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. Also, a lot of conventional straight mutes actually have their pitch/intonation issues. If you just need “Straight sound”, that might be ok, however, those mutes are useless for most of the professional players. Best Brass’ Straight is designed for advanced/professional players, and this will help achieving a much more comfortable performance with a much less effort.
