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.

    Quick & Effective

    This really works! It sufficiently dampens the volume without sacrificing the integrity of tone. My violin still sounds great with it on, just quieter obviously. It's much faster and easier o engage than the tourte mutes and just as effective. In response to an earlier review written by another Shar customer, I think his the mute didn't really work; it may depend on your instrument. I've know some mutes to work better with certain violins, violas, cellos, etc. ... (See Full Review)

    Doesnt dampen sound much

    This slide on violin mute does not dampen the sound much. It rarly makes a difference. If you want a mute that dampends more sound, I recommend the Ebony, because it hooks onto the bridge, lightening he vibrations going into the violin, making it much quieter. ... (See Full Review)
