Good standard mute for the price

Pros: Basic but exactly what it says on the tin. Came fairly quickly and hasn't broken or started rattling after a month and a half of intermittent use.

Cons: No complaints

Brilliant

Pros: Small, inconspicuous and yet makes an audible difference to the sound quality from my instrument. I have used it for orchestral music, for mellowing the sound in the higher registers and for softening sound in recordings, and in all of these it has done the job effectively. Also easy to move on and off.

Cons: None

Other: This is the second one I have bought - for two different instruments, and the first is still going strong after years of practice.

Performs as to be expected of a small mute

Pros: What can I say, it's the classic... Mainly used to change the timbre and soften the tone rather than a big volume reduction.

Cons: Doesn't vibrate all that much (if at all) when not attached, although there are other mutes that do to avoid that problem completely.

Not suitable for viola
1 out of 2 found the following review helpful

Pros: It arrived promptly

Cons: I don’t think it is suitable for viola. It is too small and doesn’t affect the sound at all really. I will have to get another mute from a different company!

Moderate mute.

Pros: Excellent moderate mute, just takes the edge off the volume with affecting tone too much. Cheers John.
