The world's most popular mute! Two slits on either side to allow must to fit over D and A and slide up and down when not in use. Used for chamber music, orchestra and personal practice - light muting level. Original: Not a Copy!!

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.

Bass Mute Fantastic

My 4 school bass students were thrilled with their new mutes. We used them on our Christmas concert. The whole orchestra enjoyed listening to the sound difference on the basses. I’d love to submit a photo but am not allowed to take or post of our school students.
