## Description

Spector Violin Mute, Copper

Review: Does the job - Got tired of the traditional tourte mute rattling and got this to replace it. It does the job, but is not as powerful as a traditional mute—maybe a 50-66% mute by comparison. It was easy to install and is even easier to use. To be clear, this is a performance mute for playing "con sordino" passages, not a practice mute.
Review: Bad…just bad - It doesn’t mute anything the muter only makes your instrument sound like it’s underwater. It is not easy to take off the strings. Product is too expensive and not worth your time nor money👎.

## 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.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Really useful to leave on an electric violin
*by R***W on 25 February 2023*

I have a cheap Cecilio electric violin that can sound rather shrill acoustically and amplified without some kind of mute. The larger boot-style mutes help mellow the sound and lower the volume, but can make the G and D strings sound rather muddy. I use two of these D'Addario mutes to dampen all the strings and they retain a little more volume and tonal character while lessening the shrillness. They also attach more securely than the other kinds of mutes that can also shift a bit when moving around. Because a lot of electric violins aren't hollow with a chamber for resonance, they can tend to need something to mellow out their tone. I keep these mutes on all the time and use acoustic simulator pedals and get a pretty decent sound out of my setup without being so loud that I annoy the neighbors.
