Which alto sax mute is best? E-Sax vs Amazon £7 mute

If you’re looking to practice saxophone more quietly at home, you’ve likely seen everything from cheap online gadgets to professional silent systems.

In this video, I’m putting two very different solutions to the test: a £7 Amazon mute and the E-Sax Whisper Mute.

This is a completely honest, unsponsored comparison. I bought the cheap mute myself, and a huge thanks to my student Colin for lending me the E-Sax.

My goal is to help you decide which (if either) is right for your home practice setup.

In this video, I cover:

• The £7 Amazon mute performance
• The E-Sax Whisper Mute for alto saxophone
• Honest pros and cons of each
• Price vs. convenience and playing experience
• Which one suits different types of players
