## Description

Spector Violin Mute, Copper

Review: The best violin mute! - The best violin mute, imo. It is about the fastest to engage and disengage, and it doesn’t rattle when not in use. I recommend this style mute to all my students and colleagues. Very unfortunate they don’t make them for other string instruments.
Review: My favorite performance mute! - This is my favorite performance mute. Easy to install, easy to slide up onto bridge, soft enough not to damage strings between bridge and tailpiece, can be rejuvenated with rubbing alcohol if rubber gets hard. Mutes the volume just enough. NOTE: This is not a practice mute! See the heavier, larger, rubber-covered, 4-prong (or the smaller 3-prong) mutes that fit over the bridge.

## Features

- REDUCES VOLUME - Whether you need to minimize your sound for smaller performances, practice a bit more quietly, or play music which requires a muted part, the D’Addario Spector Violin Mute is the best way to reduce your volume.
- MUTES STRINGS - This compact violin practice mute fits between the A and D strings of the violin and is easily engaged by simply sliding it up over the bridge.
- FRED SPECTOR - Initially designed by Fred Spector, 45-year veteran violinist of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra.
- STAYS ON INSTRUMENT - While not in use, slide it back down and the mute remains on the instrument, without interfering in your playing or sound.
- MORE COLORS - Available in copper and black colors.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does this mute work with violas?**
A: It depends on the size of the viola but I would say not. Even with some violins, it does not work. I have not found out exactly what but it seems to do with the distance between the strings and/or the thicknss of the bridges. On some violins, it does not mute at all whereas with some other violins, it is wonderful and easy to work with.
