Pros: Easy to use, goes on quickly and comes off easily. For the price you cant get much better than this.
Cons: Some people may not like a "loose mute" on the tail piece but this has never bothered me.
Other: Really good mute especially for orchestral playing when you need quick changes. There is nothing complicated on this device which is why it works on so many levels.

Pros: Quick and easy to put on. Cheap and effective. Stays on the instrument so doesn't get lost. No vibration problems compared to the metal legged type of mute.
Cons: Fiddley to use. Little lip which must go over the bridge is a bit of a pain, compared to the metal legged type, but I've had problems with vibration occassionally from this type so am trying the rubber sort. So far it's going well and I like it. Just wish they could make the metal legged type with a soft coating on the legs.
Other: Good price and very fast service from stringzone.

It works, but keep your left hand well up!

Pros: It works - it damps the sound reasonable evenly on a viola and is easy to put in place quickly, which matters when composers - as they do - leave you very little time.
Cons: I find that it tends to migrate towards the bridge and interfere with the sound. It's necessary to keep the left hand high (which doubtless is a generally a good thing, unless your orchestral partner can't see the music through your instrument).

Pros: Easy to fit. Doesn't massively mute the volume, but I find it warms/mellows the sound of my (cheap) violin and generates a more pleasing tone.
Cons: Nothing re the mute, but delivery was slow on this order, despite paying for expedited delivery.

Pros: Clips onto the bridge as expected
Cons: Seemed a little smaller than I expected but this doesn't affect anything
Other: As usual another item from The String Zone that is packaged and sent very quickly and efficiently.
