Maximum muting and clearest tone. Ideal for practicing in apartments of late at night (especially for difficult passages!) Best quality chrome-plated machine brass.

What Should I Look For in a Mute?
All string players should have at least one mute, and there are three important factors to consider. First and foremost, ease of use. How quickly can the mute be put in place or removed? How important is this to you? Orchestral players sometimes only have one measure to install or remove a mute. Secondly, sound quality. The goal of the mute is to lower the volume only, not dampen the good quality of your instrument. Regarding overall sound quality, the degree to which a mute "rattles" when not in use but still on the strings between the bridge and tailpiece is important as well. Third is aesthetics. Truth be told, many players consider the importance of overall look and feel, trying a variety of mutes to find out what works and looks best on their instrument. Fortunately, mutes are not too expensive, so this is a relatively low cost endeavor.

Weird weight and doesn't fit the bridge well

Purchased at the recommendation of my teacher after trying theirs which they ordered one number of years ago. The one a recieved is much lighter weight and a different size, it doesn't effectively mute the instrument and it makes several of the strings buzz, which theirs does not, only thing I can think of is theirs was likely not made in SE Asia and when production moved overseas quality went downhill, sadly I don't think it's worth the cost to return so it's recycling now.

Doesn't fit violas

Despite the name, this is too small to fit over the bridge of my 16" viola.
