I like this mute very much, not so much as an orchestral mute (a bit clumsy to lodge properly on the bridge when time is precious) or as a practice mute (as this is not its purpose), but a good mute for the parlor or small living room, when one doesn't necessarily want to project to the back rows of an auditorium or overwhelm one's dinner guests. I find it has a bit more muting power than most other orchestral mutes -- e.g., Tourte, Spector, Roth, Finissima, etc. The effectiveness of a sliding mute, I find, often depends on a specific violin's bridge; sometimes the mute -- the sliding mute, which this is not -- makes proper contact and sometimes it does not, and muting is hit and miss. This mute works well for nearly every violin bridge and the muting quality is obvious and the sound pleasant to the ear. I recommend this mute to those who simply wish to take down the volume a notch or two at home. Depending how the mute fits on the strings, it does have the potential to rattle a bit when in the rest position. It does not rattle on one of my violins, but does rather badly on another.Read full review
