## Description

Artino Practice Mute for Violin / Viola Artino Practice Mute for VN / VA Material: Metal covered with rubber Features: Maintains sound quality and protects the bridge. The only protective exercise mute

Review: Just what I wanted! - I have been searching for a good mute for my violin. I usually practice at night, as I work the night shift. I also work from home, so I usually practice at home. I live in apartments with very thin walls, so practicing at night is not very good for my neighbors. I started using a standard rubber mute, but I always liked the increased dampening of the metal mutes. Why? Because while the rubber mutes work well for preventing my neighbors from hearing me play, when my family comes over to stay for a few days, they can still hear me practicing with the rubber mute on. I always wanted a metal mute, because they dampen the sound extremely well. The trade off is that they change the sound of the violin. The change is noticeable enough for me to not like the metal mutes. This mute has been perfect for me. It mutes the sound of the violin like a metal mute, but it does not change the sound, like a rubber mute. The only issue I can think of with this is that you have to be careful because it does not fit the same way a rubber mute fits. You press down on a rubber mute a bit to sit it on the violin bridge, but for this, it is merely placed on the top of the bridge. It can seem to be loose, or not fit well, but it works fantastically and is secure. Also, some people complain this mute blocks their view of the finger board when they are playing. I can see the fingerboard perfectly with this mute on, and it does not obstruct my vision in any way when I am playing, but I feel the need to mention it here, as some people say this does happen with them. I am very satisfied with this purchase, and I would recommend it to anyone looking for substantial muting on their violin for practicing.
Review: Does exactly what it's supposed to, no more, no less - This mute has been a lifesaver for late night practice sessions. The volume reduction is real and noticeable, roughly comparable to an unplugged electric violin, maybe a touch more. Enough to keep the neighbors happy. Installation is simple, you just clip it onto the bridge, but there's one thing worth knowing: it's heavier than you might expect (and it's also very well built), so make sure your bridge is sitting straight before putting it on. The added weight could cause it to lean or shift if you're not careful, and that's not something you want to mess with. As for tuning accuracy, I haven't noticed any issues there. It doesn't seem to affect how the instrument holds tune (but I'm far from an expert). That said, I wouldn't recommend using it for every practice session. The muted sound makes it harder to catch your own mistakes and pick up on the finer details of your playing, but that's not what it's designed for anyway. If you need to practice at an inconvenient hour without bothering anyone, this does the job perfectly. It is a bit expensive but doing the work of a metallic one in a plastic shell seems worth it to me.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: does it mute as well as the heavy metal mute?**
A: Yes, this works amazing! This video of a girl playing with it on and off https://youtu.be/i8W5HT6AW60 helped me decide b/c you can totally hear the difference.  They also compare how it sounds inside and outside a room w/ the door closed. Another benefit to this particular mute over the all metal one is that you don't have to worry about it damaging your violin if it happens to fall off, etc.

**Q: Esta sordina sirve para Violonchelo?**
A: Esa sordina es para viola o violín. La de Chelo es más grande debido al grosor la madera del puente.

**Q: Can you loosen the screws so the mute will sit lower on a thicker bridge? You can adjust it to fit thicker bridges?**
A: I don't think this mute is adjustable. But if you're thinking that it doesn't fit because you have a thicker bridge, that probably isn't the case. This mute just doesn't fit all the way over the bridge. It's normal for this mute to sit up high.

**Q: Can this be used for cello as well?**
A: I don’t think so due to the size difference in the bridge. You may want to Google cello mutes to double check!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ THIS Mute For Apartment Living Or Open Windows
*by J***S on May 19, 2018*

I originally bought a cheaper mute made of pure rubber that fit entirely over the bridge. It does a good job of taking the sound down to an acceptable practice level. My house has rather thin walls, and once, using the cheaper, rubber mute, did someone hear me. I bought this because I lack air conditioning, am frequently up at night with windows open, and needed something that would not be heard but by me and me alone. THIS MUTE IS IT. This mute? I could play with the bedroom doors (being adjacent to one another - less than 3 feet (~1 meter)) open and you probably wouldn't hear me. It mutes THAT well. It looks to be plastic/rubber on the outside, but there's a metal plate on the inside that gently rests on the bridge that dulls the sound so low only you being next to it will hear it, and even then, only slightly. It's perfect. As a beginner that's ashamed to have others hear the horrible sounds I make, the rubber mute was sufficient for the most part, but was still quite audible. This mute, however, completely nullifies the possibility anyone that isn't beside you will hear it. If you live in an apartment? You NEED this mute! You can play as hard as you want and never hear a complaint from a roommate, let alone a neighbor! It's REALLY that good! Also, for those questioning why it doesn't fit completely over the bridge? It doesn't need to. Trust me on this. I was skeptical when I put it on and saw right through it. Lots of empty space between mute and bridge. It's a total, 100% non-issue. Try it. If you feel differently? Get your money back, but I don't think you will. It's pricier than a cheaper mute like I originally bought, but the peace of mind that you can practice as much as you want without the possibility of disturbing anyone (you could probably play in the same room as a sleeping person and not wake them) is more than worth it. If you want a recommendation? Get a cheap rubber mute for when the time you play or anyone POSSIBLY hearing doesn't matter, but absolutely buy this is you think for even a second someone could hear you and it might be a problem. It will NOT be a problem with this!
