Hello all,
I'm excited to share this with you! The "Wixie" is a 3 in 1 mute that can function as a "wah-wah" mute, pixie mute, and salt shaker mute. You get three distinctive sounds out of one mute by configuring it with the included attachments. I demonstrate the concept in the video below.
I have this mute available in the form of a pre-order through my website, with an estimated ship date of 9/1/23. The pre-order pricing is discounted substantially, and pre-orders will come with an additional salt shaker attachment with a different hole configuration. Standard pricing will commence on 9/1/23.

Here is an example of a different salt shaker configuration that would be included with the pre-orders. I've not settled on this configuration yet, id like to have something that produces a contrasting sound to the other standard configuration. More soon.

That salt shaker mute is a unique sound. It's halfway between a straight and cup. I think I can definitely use that.
I loved both videos! Straight to the point. One minor suggestion: play a couple of notes with an open trumpet so we can hear the overall volume effect of these mutes relative to an open horn.
I'm preordering now. _________________ Matt Finley https://mattfinley.bandcamp.com/releases

Hi Matt, thanks! That's a good observation about the videos and something that occurred to me when I was editing the second one. I will definitely do that in any future vids.
You will have an email from me with updates soon. _________________ Dr. Nathan Sobieralski

I'll be interested in playing around with your mute, it looks like you've got some innovation going.

Do you also plan to make a 6-in-1 mute eventually? _________________ 1975 Olds Recording trumpet

Haha, well let's not get too crazy! But seriously, no. No plans at the moment for other combo mutes. I have a Harmon design percolating at the moment but that will be some time from now. _________________ Dr. Nathan Sobieralski

Hey all, im extending the presale through 9/4, so these are still available at the reduced price over the weekend. After 9/4 they will rise from $69 to $89.
The metallic blue came out pretty good I think!
