Founded over 65 years ago by Willie Berg, Humes & Berg is still run as a family firm by Irwin and Mike Berg (pictured) and follows a philosophy ‘dedicated to supplying quality products aimed at helping achieve the perfect performance’. Korg UK reports that all the mutes in the range are designed to the highest standard of durability and innovation at an affordable price.
Humes & Berg is most famous for its ‘Stonelined’ range, the component and manufacturing details of which are still a family secret. The company has a rich history, being involved over the years with many outstanding musicians including Duke Ellington, Harry James, Count Basie, Woody Herman, The Dorsey Brothers, Glenn Millar and others.
The Humes & Berg range includes straight mutes for all instruments right through cup and practice, to the more interesting including Buzz Wow, Raspy Buzz & Velvet-tone!
