Pros: It produces a much more muted sound than a normal violin mute. I can practise at length without annoying my neighbours or family.
Cons: The fit on my bridge is a bit tight but I expect this to loosen after longer use. By deadening the sound it does affect the quality of sound and it is important to play without it as well in order to be aware of how you sound when playing normally as it may mask problems in playing technique!

Pros: i like 'Ultra' violin practice mute because it is a useful thing for me as i can practise my violin in a lower sound which will not interrupt other people.
Cons: no comment.
Other: I would like to complain about the delivery because it made me wait for at least three weeks and i didn't receive the product that i purchased.

Not really a practice mute - disappointing!
Pros: Ok if you need a small amount of muting without losing too much tone.
Cons: Not really a practice mute . According to my decibel reader in my phone it was barely any different to my normal torte mute!
Other: If you want a proper practice mute my advice is avoid this - go for the artino of even quieter solid metal one. I bought the artino afterwards and it’s way better than this one. I decided to keep this ultra anyway for any concerts where I might need a slightly heavier normal mute but have yet to use it for anything so all in all it was a bad purchase.

great mute
Pros: i have used this brand and type of mute for years , for general practice more to protect my ears than for other people. i have a very heavy mute but that just gives a weak sound ., this one still let you get a good idea of how you are playing. it really is the best in my opinion and a good price. great service as always from Stringzone..

Marvelous Mute.
Pros: Sits securely on the bridge Asymmetric shape matches the bridge Made of rubber, so no danger of damage When removed there is no residual effect on tone Effective muting obviates neighbour annoyance Does exactly what it's supposed to do.
Cons: None
