This is a homemade violin mute. It reduces the sound during practice. 【Features】 Not only does it provide a clear sound-dampening effect to the listener, but its effectiveness is also confirmed numerically through spectrum analysis. It attenuates the 1000-6000Hz range, which is the source of noise harmonics, by 5-10dB, meaning the sound is less than half as loud. I always use this when practicing, but I'm surprised by the loud sound when I occasionally forget to put it on ^^ ARTINO and similar products that are placed on the bridge have a high sound-dampening effect, but they have drawbacks such as: ・The point of contact between the bow and strings is not visible when attached. ・The fundamental tone you want to hear during practice is not audible. ・Since it's only placed on the bridge, it can be dropped, or putting it in the case while attached can cause problems. ・It leaves marks and rubber stains on the bridge. ・It's heavy. I made this to overcome these issues. The ones I've made so far had conflicting issues, such as some instruments couldn't be fitted if I made them the largest size to achieve sound dampening, or the sound dampening effect was slightly reduced if I made them smaller. This time, I combined large and small parts to solve these problems. I also made the parts separate for easy attachment and removal. 【How to Attach】 Attach the two parts so that they sandwich the bridge. They are secured with strong magnets, so when attaching them to the bridge, slide the smaller part from the side to avoid impacting the bridge. Basically, place the side with the sticker towards the fingerboard. If the parts come into contact with the strings, you can almost always fix it by reversing the front and back. 【Important Notes】 The size of this product is approximately 42 x 21 x 5 mm and 56 x 26 x 5 mm. It should fit most 4/4 violins with a standard bridge height, but it may not be possible to attach it to fractional violins. If the height to the E string is insufficient, please consider the separate product, Ottavo. Please forgive any minor scratches from the manufacturing process. It may break if subjected to strong impacts. 【From Customer Reviews】 ・This is amazing!! ・Unlike metal mutes, the sound is reduced relatively naturally, which is good. ・It's great to be able to practice without worrying about the mute slipping or dropping and damaging the instrument, or the anxiety of not being able to see the contact point between the strings and the bow!
