Information about Mute model 342:
The "Dizzy Bop Mute", "Popy BOP Mute" and "Copper BOP Mute” was originally made and delivered with a roll of Felt in the hole, to hold and fix the Stem-cup. We still make the mute like this, however, for more open sound and free-blowing feel, it may be advantageously replaced with a similar roll of Rubber-Cork or Synthetic Cork material.
This will be supplied from us either with the mute or on request from you.
Don’t be afraid to experiment with this, and as a costumer, you are most welcome to contact us for any question regarding our Mutes, corks, etc.

As to the range, the notes are exactly the samer wether you are at the lowest note of range or the highest.
You are always in perfect tune- with or without the cup.
In symphony orchestras and Brass band, in entertainment and dance music, this mute may cover 90 % of the requirements.
It may successfully be used in a Brass section with or without the cup.

After extensive tests made by me and everybody in my brass section, Popy is found to be 100% perfect in the whole register.
- Maynard Ferguson
CHARACTERISTICS:
This popular Ullvén Popy Bop Mute, with extendible cup-stem, is hand made in aluminium, powder painted or polished.
A classic Ullvén mute for solo or section use wherever it is needed in any style of music.
Perfect in tune in all registers. Beautiful warm sound with rich overtones. (Similar to a "Harmon style" mute but with a sound of its own.)
NOTE:
All Ullvén mutes are delivered with oversized corks that has to be filed or cut, to fit each individual Instrument. This is important for best intonation and sound. It is advantageously recommended that the cork would be adjusted so that the Mute fit deep into the Instrument Bell.
