Leather viola mute

  • Description

A unique slot and notch design that allows you to easily produce two distinctly different muting effects.
The material, leather, mutes the distinctive character of the instrument’s tonal qualities less than other materials. The player is better able to hear the ringing of the overtones under ear, resulting in improved intonation and a more “vibrant and glorious” sound.
You can customize the fit of your mute. Moisten the two small notches with a drop of water, then place the mute back on the strings. During the drying process, the notches will reshape and conform to the string dimensions of your instrument.
