The Latest Buzz
If the Chicago Stinger Gen II trombone mute is the best the world has ever seen, then the Chicago Stinger Gen II Plus is the best the entire universe has seen! Co-designed with the help of Kenny Rampton of the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra, the Chicago Stinger Gen II mutes excel in intonation, slotting, playability, and buzz across the trombone's full range. Aiming to surpass the performance of the original model, Hirschman redesigned this trombone mute using 100% custom components like finer caplet threads and added Tone Boosters for superior intonation, slotting, and projection. Upgrade to the Gen II Plus today — your trombone will thank you!
Buzz not for the faint of heart
For a superior buzz, discerning trombone players are quick to grab the Chicago Stinger Gen II Plus trombone mute. You’ll find exceptional sound, intonation, and playability with this mute whether played in peaceful pianissimo or a forceful fortissimo. Thanks to proprietary Hornet Resonators, the Stinger offers some insane buzz/fuzz. To achieve improved intonation and playability, the Stinger takes advantage of a Venturi Pressure Diffusion Disk. What’s more, Thunderbolt caplets help to protect resonators so you can travel with this mute in your case/bag without worries. Did we mention these caplets also deliver maximum buzz?
A unique Vortex Corking System
The interesting look of this mute probably caught your eye — feast them on Hirschman’s Vortex Corking System. This unique system works by attenuating and channeling unmuted sound through two angled passageways, effectively upping the buzz while cutting down on back pressure. Sweetwater tip: play this mute alongside the KR Indigo Plunger mutes for exceptional sound.
