Round Tourte Style Viola Mute

Although you can find similarly looking and cheaper mutes - this one is of a better quality: it can be fixed on the bridge more deep and stable than the others. So, it worth the money. Works for violin and viola equally well. Heifetz Mute for Violin or Viola is more expensive and probably (somewhat) of higher quality but this one is the best for the price.

This is the mute that most professional musicians use. I got this one for my Viola, and also have one for my Violin. Easy to install and use.

Bought them for my son's viola - he has played for 10 years. And he said that these weird plastic pieces (to me since I don't play any instruments and know nothing about them) work well.

This product is okay but just by looking at it, it doesn't look professional. It also makes quite an annoying rattling sound while not using the mute. Other than those problems, if your looking for a cheap mute, this would be your best bet.

Whatever this little rubbery creature is, our teenager, viola-loving son loves it! Apparently, it dampens the sound (forgive me if I am totally off) and he excitedly demonstrated it to me. I could have easily mistaken it for an unit for my motorcycle, but what do I know? I strongly recommend it to all violinists who want to dampen your musical outcry for a small price! I am sure your cat(s) will appreciate it.

I got this mute for my viola. I think it sounds best when you put it on your G and D string. You can leave it on or take it off. I take it off and put it in my case when I am not using it. Good mute, good price! Any player needs lots of these, so stock up!

I ordered this for my daughters viola. It works well for her. Good purchase!
