Popis: A mute for a horn-type musical instrument is disclosed. The mute comprises a resonating dish which has an opening therein to permit air flow through the dish and a slit extending from the opening to facilitate resonance of the dish. The dish is adapted to fit over the outside of the bell of the instrument on the bell wire by adjustable fitting means. The mute changes the timbre of the sound generated by the instrument, yet maintains the majority of the volume of sound prior to placement of the mute onto the bell.
