Artino Rubber-covered Steel Practice Mute for Viola, Violin Black Playing with this bow isA heavy mute for reducing the output of sound for practicing without annoying your housemates or neighbors. Maintains a pure tone, but just much quieter. Made of metal with a rubber outer coating. If your bridge is properly tapered at the top, this mute will fit perfectly. However, if the bridge is too thick at the top, this mute may not fit. You can loosen the screws a bit to help it fit, but it is not designed for that usage.
