Very very good one.
It is a must especially if you are living in an apartment and like to blow at night.
No intonation problem I faced. Response is also excellent.
I advice TWC-M17 for every trumpet player
One of my best shopping I did.

Amazing!
It really does what everybody says around in reviews and videos, I can actually practice at midnight without disturbing anyone. Just like TV volume.
A simple example I can give, I have a MacBook Pro, I can play a song on iTunes at a volume level, let's say "6 clicks of volume" Well more less that is how loud a trumpet would sound with the Wallace damper. I definitely advise it!
Thanks to its foam ring it attaches nicely and firmly inside the trumpet bell.
And it is actually adjustable, it has a removable part which allows you to control how high or low volume you want, 3 levels.
Im not an expert, but they say it affects the tone for about half a note... It is also a bit harder to blow the trumpet when using the mute, but just a tiny little bit.
Yeah, could be, I think so, but again, it is priceless that you have the option to practice at home without disturbing neither the next room neither the next flat.

A really great mute
I have to say I'm a beginner with the cornet, so take what I say with a grain of salt. This mute is frankly amazing in reducing the sound! I live in a little open space with my girlfriend and she says that she can hardly hear the sound and if she has headphones on her ears, she doesn't hear a thing. It's very practical and lightweight, you can also reduce or increase the dampening with the little sliding tube inside the mute. I can't say if it changes the pitch a lot, since I'm a beginner, but there are reviews on the internet for that. To be honest, it's crazy good for this price

Excellent
I was surprised by how quiet this mute is. It adds a bit of resistance like any mute but makes it possible to practice in an apartment at any time of the day or night.
You can remove the metal insert to reduce resistance a bit and it's still very quiet.
Intonation feels manageable.
It weighs nothing yet feels robust and is easy to install and remove.

Perfect for quiet practice
The tone is very nice, nice enough to record. The volume reduction is fantastic. The quality and craftsmanship is super. Highly recommended for quiet practice. May change the tuning by a 1/4 of a semitone, so you may have to retune after putting it on.

Wonderful mute.. nice soft sound and very much in tune
It might have a touch more resistance than the shhh mute I have, but the sound is nicer and more accurate in all registers.

Keeping quiet about this
I bought this mute to lower the noise and keep my neighbours happy. The mute itself is a beautiful object, the materials, finishing and quality are fantastic. The sound is good - and probably down to my own proficiency that I don't sound like Miles Davis. Are my neighbours happy? Well, so far I have not heard any broomsticks hitting the ceiling below me. I will take that as a positive and say that the mute is doing its job correctly.

After trying several practice mutes, this was finally the one which worked as I expected. With some adjustment of the insert, it can also be used as a standard mute. Great appearance, compact size, pleasant feeling. Very satisfied with it.

Incredible noise reduction
Noise reduction is really good and it's indeed possible to play without the neighbours to hear you (vocal conversation noise intensity I would say).
Really good mute to practice alone but the pitch correction (a quarter of a whole step) is hard to make on the whole range. So it's hardly possible to play with other musician due to this pitch drift.
Also it's not easy to blow and it's less responsive. Which improve endurance and make it a relieve to play without the mute afterwards.
I would definitively buy it again as it allows me to practice everyday, everywhere.
Just note the existence of the TWC-M22C compact that can fit in the bell which is more convenient for transport.

Wow, I am blown away by this Mute...
After years playing, I found a need for a practice mute. After watching countless reviews on YouTube regarding practice mutes, I decided that this would be the one. My local music store couldn't get it, so my internet search suggested Thomann. Couldn't be happier with the performance of the M17. I am confounded at how it can be so free blowing yet reduce my trumpet by 30 db's. It is simply magic. It has adjustability that truly work. Its effect on intonation in the lower and upper register are insignificant and it is a good looking little mute. Simply magical. 100% satisfied!
