Rawhide Mallet

STOP! Please do not order here. This website is only for our rental instruments. To purchase Houghton Horns products, please shop on houghtonhorns.com. We do not monitor this online store, your order will not be shipped out in a timely fashion, and it will not calculate your order total correctly.

Our repair shop uses rawhide mallets to loosen stuck bells, mouthpieces, and mouthpiece rims.

Never tap on a brass instrument with metal hammers or similarly solid objects. Rawhide is just soft enough to prevent dents and scratches.

If light tapping with a rawhide mallet does not loosen the bell or mouthpiece, try lubricating it and letting it soak for a few minutes before trying again. If even oil does not loosen the bell or mouthpiece, call your local repair shop. NEVER use excessive force to remove a stuck object -- you can cause hundred of dollars of damage.
