What are the different colours of practice mutes for?

Answered by Roadie
Practice mute colours are primarily aesthetic: in the playLITE range, red and blue let players personalise their gear while providing the same functional volume reduction.
In the playLITE practice trumpet mute range, the different colours offer a choice of appearance rather than different levels of muting. This can be particularly appealing to younger players who want to personalise their equipment.
Choose the colour you prefer. When comparing mutes from different ranges, check their intended function rather than assuming the colour indicates how much they reduce the volume.
