“A great mute – allows me to bow without inhibition or fear of disturbing the neighbours. As a relative beginner, this comes as a tremendous relief. I can now turn my attention away from concerns of being overheard, and more towards my actual technique. It produces only a very modest reduction in tone – a very happy compromise.”
“This is a great mute! Dampens the sound without losing too much tone. I use this to practice at home and not disturb anyone, and I think it would be great for anyone living in an apartment complex with close neighbors and thin walls.”
“I had read really good reviews about this mute so decided to try it for myself and I’m very impressed. It’s one of the best mutes I’ve tried. Now I don’t have to worry about disturbing the neighbours when I want to practice at home.”
“I'd been procrastinating getting a practice mute for my instruments for some time, but was desperate for some evening music time once the kids were asleep. Michael gave me a demo of this mute and compared it to another, and there was no choice. So glad I finally got this. The effect is significant dampening of volume whilst maintaining a decent tone. Here's to increased practice time!”
“This rubber-coated practice mute is great! It considerably dampens the sound without any distortion. It's easy to attach and detach from the bridge and, being rubber-coated, it does not damage the bridge. I feel comfortable practicing anytime using this mute, even with the newborn baby next door.”
