Trapani Mutes

Custom Mute Solutions
Trapani Mutes specializes in addressing common issues with traditional mutes while introducing new designs for underrepresented instruments.
Using 3D printing, each mute is tailored for optimal playability, unrestricted by traditional manufacturing constraints.

Precision Through 3D Printing
By leveraging 3D printing technology, Trapani Mutes produces mutes in custom shapes and sizes, enhancing their functionality.
The mutes are primarily made from ABS plastic for durability, while bassoon mutes use TPU for flexibility.

The Journey to Mute Making
A lifelong tinkerer, Steve Trapani discovered 3D printing while searching for parts for his VW camper van.
His first experiment with a trombone practice mute led to the creation of Trapani Mutes, fueled by demand from fellow musicians.
