Hercules Stands HA100 Clamp-on Four Mute Holder - Trumpet, Trombone, Cornet, French Horn

I bought this for my French horn mutes and it works great! It is very sturdy and made of high quality grade. It is also easy to install on my music stand.

Have you ever been in rehearsal and accidentally kicked a mute or two that was sitting on the floor in front of you? Have you ever played a piece of music that required you to change the mute you are using or add a mute with little to no time to accomplish these tasks? The Hercules mute holder makes these quick mute changes much easier to accomplish and gets the mutes off the floor so that an accidental kick is much harder to do. This heavy duty mute holder attaches to the base of a music stand and holds all types of mutes. Having the mutes up and off the floor really helps musicians avoid accidentally kicking the mutes and makes it much easier to change mutes quickly during a practice or performance. This product is well-designed and works great on Manhasset, Wenger, or Hamilton music stands. I am impressed with this mute holder and enjoy the new-found ease of quick mute changes while using this product. Highly recommended!

I like this a lot! Fifty years ago, most music called for one, maybe two, mutes; at most. Now, it's common to find three or more different mutes called for in the course of one concert performance. This little device keeps everything in sight and accessible, without stooping. No more kicking around mutes on darkened stages, either! I should qualify my remarks by noting I'm a trumpet player and the first thing I did was remove the small tray so that I might use the three larger rings for my straight, cup, and harmon mutes. These rings provide bigger and less noisy targets when making quick mute changes. On most occasions I don't use the long, little ring but it will hold a small plunger mute - upside down - without a problem. That said, if you're a trombone player, you'll have to determine its merits on your own. Finally, the device transports easily. I use a Pro-Tec case, and when I'm off to rehearsals or performances, my K&M 5-leg stand resides in the bell of the horn, and the mute holder, all my mutes, mouthpieces, and lots of other junk fit neatly in the designated storage area. Yes, it ends up weighing some, but it works!

This is a well constructed heavy duty mute holder that works best attached to a thick post music stand such as Manhasset. I have not tried it on a folding wire music stand but imagine it should work o.k. though the weight of the mutes might be too much for the slender stalk. It will not attach securely to a music front typically used for big band/jazz groups whether cardboard or fibreboard. And that's where you are most likely going to need the use of multiple mutes. I have a GARD combination case for my trumpet and flugelhorn that has wheels and a telescoping handle like rolling luggage. I set it next to my music front and attach the Hercules mute holder securely to the raised square tubuler handle. Works like a charm! The mute rings are covered with velvet for silent quick mute changes. The different size and length mute rings make it easy to adjust and set it up any way that works best for you. It also saves reaching down to the floor fumbling for the correct mute as they clank and roll around sometimes in the dark. This is a must have for that next gig or symphony pops concert.

Very good quality mute holder! It has made my life much easier. Only thing I don’t like is that Hercules doesn’t offer replacement stoppers if you lose one.

Works great with Manhasset or Wengert stands.

This a great mute holder that attached well to my stand. The only fault is the flat bottom attachment which would better for an extra mute. That being said, this is a lot better than reaching down for your mutes! Recommended

A couple of years ago or so, I noticed all the greats in town placing their mutes on this clamp holder. I didn't think anything at first but after a while I realized how easy it was for them to reach down less than a foot to pick up or switch out especially on fast switches of mutes. I then looked on that website that promotes that clamp thing and saw the price!!!!!!! No way!!! I can make the same thing at home with parts from the local hardware store. One of my great buds did eventually! Wasn't very sturdy like the real thing. The cons were simple, after time the weight of the mutes would bring down the angle of the holder. And what's below the holder? Your horns!!! When I purchased the Hercules holder I knew the construction of it was going to be solid. After this first year or so, the results are spectacular. I think the price is ok for what it is, but I'd be happier if the price were in the $20's. I would support the current price if it had 5 holders. Nonetheless, I highly recommend this product to any trumpet player.

Mi novio es trompetista y amo este regalo, lo recomiendo ampliamente, es de mucha utilidad y es muy práctico y fácil de cargar a todos lados

Really, there's nothing to dislike about this mute holder. It's decent quality, feels solid and well made. Screws to the side of any music stand. No more fumbling on the floor, the miss are right in front of you. There are four mute holders, one of them had a removable cup/water bottle holder. Great for brass band players who need to switch mutes fast. Recommended!

トランペットのカップミュートは今まで足元に置いていましたが、取りそこねたり、置く時に床で転がったり、ヒヤリとする時がありました。しかし、本品は3つのミュート受けとオイルもしくは予備マウスピースの置ける便利な足？もあり、超便利です。 譜面台の真下に簡単に設置出来ます。やや重量ありますが安定しています。演奏時にさっとトランペットに装着、さっと外して置けるのでストレスフリーになりました。もっと早くに買っておけば商品の典型ですね。収納も簡単、お薦めです！

Für das schnelle wechseln von Dämpfern super

Don’t know I waited so long to get this .....fits my stand perfectly fits 3 mutes and has handy tray for mouthpiece love it worked surperb at my last concert
