CUSTOMER REVIEWS:
Great mute -
This is a great mute. I like it a lot. I will say, the only reservation is that it will not slide down on the bridge very well. The area has to be enlarged with a metal file so that it will fit on the bridge. Once that has been done, it works perfectly. If it would fit on the bridge with no modification I would've given it a 5 star rating. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it though, as long as people know they will need to modify it to fit their own particular bridge.

Violin metal practice mute -
I was looking for a mute that would reduce the sound level by about 70% and
this mute does the trick. The tonal quality is affected somewhat but that
is to be expected from a damping device. The only issue I had with the mute is that the "V" grooves were cut too small to clip onto thick bridge so I altered the mute to fit. That shouldn't be an issue for a thin bridge. All in all, I'm very satisfied with this mute because now I can practice without disturbing anyone!
Maximum muting, but badly designed. -
I tried few different mutes. This one provides maximum muting effect making playing barely audible. Perfect for playing without disturbing others. This being said there are 2 problems. The mute has its bridge grooves cut too tightly, and does not fit well on 2 of the bridges I tried it on - one being a cheap no-name, the other being Aubert Lux model. The mute goes only a few millimeters down and although works well, the fit is insecure and the weight shift may potentially damage bridge edges. I believe the mute could be improved by cutting the groves wider. The other problem is that the mute kills 99% of tonal color, so it's use is limited to practicing finger positions but not the actual clarity of played music. Since there are few manufacturers of this mute type, perhaps I need to try to obtain another one from a different vendor...
