Metal Violin Mute Practice Violin Silencer for 1/2, 3/4, 4/4 Violin, Silver

I REALLY love this practice mute! I am a beginner, and I have been trying out a rubber coated metal mute for the past few weeks. Problem was, it was so damn tall, that it made it really hard to see the place where I needed to place my bow. This metal mute is a lot shorter, so I can see over it WAY better! It also does a really great job of reducing the volume of the sound without making it sound different. Its quiet enough, so my husband (who is working from home right now) doesn’t run away screaming until I learn all of the proper notes, and better bow control. It also seems to grip on pretty well, maybe even better than my rubber coated metal one. I’d suggest that you just don’t turn your violin sideways, or move the violin around violently, just in case. ;)

Daughter in college dorms loves this! She can practice her violin without disturbing those around her. Works great!

This is my first metal mute so I don’t have anything to compare to. But my biggest concern is the fit on the bridge. It doesn’t have the natural slant like the bridge itself so it sits very awkward and loose.It does mute the sound very well especially in comparison to my rubber mute. But it seems to mess with the sound of the strings. I am still at the beginning stage of my violin playing so it could be a technique problem for me. But I wanted to add that detail just in case.

My son has a 1/8 size violin and we travel often so we needed a way to help muffle the sound when practicing in hotel rooms, on the camper, etc.. It's hard to find a mute specifically for smaller size violins but this one worked perfectly! It fits with just enough room to spare so it doesn't touch the strings. I definitely recommend it for on the road or anytime you need a quieter practice!Sturdy, strong metal - this will last us through many violins.

Does not fit bridge.

This is amazing. I can barely hear it when my son plays. I love his playing; I’m a musician myself, but sometimes I’m on sensory overload or he wants to practice at midnight. This helps keep our sanity.

I got the rubber one first but it hardly did anything. It didnt seem to fit right. This one really makes it quiet enough so that I dont worry about disturbing my neighbors.. so it improves my playing. It comes on and off easily

I had absolutely no problem fitting this on my 4/4 violin and my 15 1/2 inch viola. It sits on top of both bridges without any problem, and it’s quite secure, no issues with it falling off at all. I actually like this tone a lot better than the rubber covered metal mute. It also mutes far better than the regular solid rubber ones. Highly recommend this, at least give it a try, you can always send it back if it doesn’t fit. I was worried it wouldn’t fit, happy I tried this!
