What should<br />
I look<br />
for in a mute?<br />
A good and practical<br />
question. Humorously, my<br />
soloist friends get a rather<br />
puzzled look on their faces<br />
when asked about mutes<br />
since their life’s mission<br />
seems to be shattering<br />
crystal with their playing!<br />
All string players should<br />
have at least one mute,<br />

“I heartily endorse this mute for any performer<br />
that has respect for his own work.” - Isaac Stern<br />

and there are three important factors to consider. First and foremost, ease of use.<br />
How quickly can the mute be put in place or removed? How important is this to<br />
you? Orchestral players some times only have one measure to install or remove a<br />
mute. Secondly, sound quality. The goal of a mute is to lower the volume only, not<br />
dampen the good quality of your instrument. Regarding overall sound quality, the<br />
degree to which a mute “rattles” when not in use but still on the strings between the<br />
bridge and tailpiece is important as well. Thirdly, aesthetics. Truth be told, many<br />
players consider the importance of overall look and feel, trying a variety of mutes to<br />
find out what works and looks best on their instrument.<br />
Heifetz Mute<br />
The unique design of the Heifetz mute allows the<br />
player to adjust the muting effect by sliding the<br />
metal tension clip down or up, muting more or less<br />
as a result. The metal tension clip is the part that is<br />
stamped “HEIFETZ”. Made of the highest quality<br />
materials, many professionals swear by this unique<br />
mute. The original Heifetz mute was very similar,<br />
but with a slightly different design.<br />

Bech Magnetic<br />
When not in use, magnet holds mute firmly to plastic<br />
clip on tailpiece. Cello model uses self-adhesive tab<br />
which sticks to tailpiece instead of plastic clip.<br />
Non-rattling storage and quick accessibility.<br />
Violin & Viola 1309 $ 9.49<br />
Cello 1311 $ 11.49<br />
Traditional metal heavy practice mute, with a<br />
protective plastic coating. Slightly less muting than an uncoated mute, but less<br />
danger of damaging your instrument if the mute should fall off during use.
