Rubber Violin Practice Mute, Claw Style & Round Tourte Style Mute for Violin, Practice Silencer Viola Violin Mute

Simplemente cumple con lo que dice

Getting two mutes for one price is a very good (and rare) deal. The smaller tourte mute is a common mute used to color (more than soften, in my opinion) the tone of the violin string and fits easily on the strings below the bridge without needing to take the strings off the attach it. Having said that, I prefer the Wire Slide-On mute variety (also on Amazon) for darkening a string instrument's tone. Think of the sound of the string section in the "Going Home" movement of Dvorak's "New World Symphony" where these mutes are employed. Lovely and somewhat somber sounding.As for the claw, its claim is that it will severely dampen a violin's volume, and while it does that a little, the best damping mute in my experience is the claw made of metal (they look chrome-like, and are also sold on Amazon). I prefer the chrome for dampening, but my new violin bridge is too thick and won't allow for the metal claw to rest on the bridge. The rubber claw, however, being "rubber" accommodated my new bridge easily. Unfortunately, it doesn't soften the volume enough to keep my violin woodshedding sessions from disturbing my housemates.My score of 4 is mostly for getting 2-4-1 at this price. Buying separately, I feel that the Wire Slide-On variety is a better mute than the tourte for somberness, and that the metal claw is better for lowering the volume.

I happen to BE a beginner, just got my first violin (full size). This mute works as it shows in the pictures. It doesn't mute my strings totally, I can still hear what I'm trying to play, but it's not so loud that its bothering anyone else. A must for new beginners like me for sure. It's a rubbery item, but doesn't smell nasty. Works well, packs in my case, does the job nicely. Very happy!

Product it too small to fit over the bridge. Unless you have a toy instrument, I wouldn't recommend this product.

It’s very useful
