2. Ensure the cork pads make firm contact with the inner surface of the bell, creating a secure fit. The mute should not wobble or fall out easily.
3. Do not force the mute into the bell, as this could damage the instrument or the mute. If it feels too tight, slightly adjust its position.

4. Betjeningsvejledning

The EASTROCK Trumpet Mute is primarily a practice mute. It significantly reduces the volume of your trumpet, allowing you to practice in environments where full volume might be disruptive. When using the mute, observe the following:

• Lydreduktion: Expect a noticeable decrease in volume. This mute is designed to dampen sound, not eliminate it entirely.
• Intonation: Mutes can sometimes affect the intonation (pitch) of your instrument. Be aware that you may need to adjust your embouchure or slide positions slightly to maintain correct pitch while using the mute.
• Rygpres: Using a mute will naturally increase the back pressure when blowing into the instrument. This is normal and may require a slight adjustment in your breath support.
• Tonekvalitet: While designed for practice, the mute will alter the natural tone of your trumpet. It is not intended for performance where specific tonal characteristics are required.

5. Vedligeholdelse

Proper care will extend the life of your trumpet mute:

• Rensning: Wipe the aluminum body with a soft, dry cloth after each use to remove any moisture or residue. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
• Cork Pads: Inspect the cork pads regularly for wear and tear. If they become loose or damaged, they may need to be replaced to ensure a secure fit and prevent scratching your trumpet.
• Opbevaring: Store the mute in a clean, dry place, preferably in a case or bag to protect it from dust and physical damage.

6. Fejlfinding

Mute not fitting securely or falling out:

Check the cork pads for wear or damage. Ensure they are clean and intact. If severely worn, replacement may be necessary. Ensure the mute is inserted straight into the bell.

Sound still too loud for practice:

This mute is designed for significant volume reduction, but not complete silence. If you require further dampening, consider specialized 'silent' practice systems, which typically seal the bell more completely.

Intonation issues or increased back pressure:

These are common characteristics when using most trumpet mutes. Adjust your playing technique, embouchure, and breath support as needed. Regular practice with the mute will help you adapt.
