Customer Reviews Great Mute by .. Rageaholicdad (Virginia) This mute will stick right on the violin strings over the bridge so you don't have to worry about it falling off since it fits so snug. It is really nice to have to practice with especially with my household which is a small house and the violin tends to irritate people sometimes. I am a beginner so the sounds I create sometimes will make your ears bleed but with this mute they tend to bleed a little less. The one thing I wish and this is a minor gripe and its merely I wish it would quiet the violin even more than it currently does. Other than that it does its job like it should even though I wish it could be more muted.
Nice Sound by .. K. Rountree (Tallahassee, FL) This is a very nice mute. I tried some of the metal ones but they changed the quality of the sound way too much. I use it when I travel or get home late so I can still practice without disturbing others. But I found that I wouldn't practice with the metal ones because with them it was like playing a different instrument and didn't help my ear. The sound comes out mostly smooth but not perfect. But I use it sometimes and am very glad I have it because I practice more with it.
Great Mute by .. Gustavo Guberman (Rio de Janeiro, RJ Brazil) The other reviews have already said it all. It is cheap, durable, fits perfectly well, doesn't damage the bridge, and reduces the volume to the point a beginner can practice without the risk of having his/her life threatened by angry neighboors!
If you are looking for a mute that you can use at home, at night, at a hotel room... This is it.
This mute works... by .. J. Yacknin () this mute works well. It definitely makes the instrument quieter, but also prouduces a hollow sound from the f holes on the instrument. When playing in pizzacato, it doesn't do anything at all but make it sound worse. From afar, you wouldn't be able to tell the difference with it on or off. But when near the instrument, you can hear the hollowness.
Mutes it pretty well by .. B. Schoeffler () I got this because I live in an apartment complex and I just started playing violin about a year ago. It does its job well and mutes the violin significantly. If you buy this before you put it on your violin I would recommend you spreading the prongs open a little bit so it is easier to go on.
