2-hole mute Tourte

$4.50

The Tourte 2-hole rubber mute can stay on the instrument when not in uses. You can quickly slide it up and on  the bridge as needed.  This is not a practice mute, but is used when playing music noted “con sordino.”  It can be used along with a wolf suppressor and does not need to be centered on the D-G strings, just two adjacent strings.

  • My Mute

    My Mute, at 260 grams, with an adjustable arm that reaches down ~ 25 mm onto the bridge and securely clamps, is the most effective practice mute we have found.   It is the combination of the mass and ability to suppress more vibration in the wood that makes this superior for cellists in apartments, hotel rooms, with sleeping family…anyone who needs major sound reduction while needing to still practice productively.   Due to variations in bridge cut, low or high heart, the results may differ slightly.  But you can see why it is a good/safe fit regardless of the bridge’s curvature.

  • Leather Mute

    Leather mute weighs ~6.6 grams and will fit on most bridges.  It has a slot and notch design that allows two different placements for muting effects.  Over the bridge for pianissimo, and pressing below the bridge for mezzo piano.  You can also customize the mute by moistening the notches, and as it dries on your strings it conforms to them.   When not in use, the two notches in the mute hold it in place on the afterlength.

  • Polly mute

    Polly is a triangular, shield-shaped rubber mute for “con sordino” passages.  With smaller holes than the Tourte, it is less likely to vibrate when not in use.  Instead of a front tab that lifts over the bridge to secure it, the Polly just slides up and a narrow lip rests on top of the bridge securely, and removal is quick and easy.  Black or Clear.
