Good mute!

Pros: How easily and quickly you can put it on and off.

Cheap and effective little mute.

Pros: They work well; they are easy to fit, they mute the sound just right for me; they don't colour the sound of the violin, they can slide out of the way and be parked near the tail-piece.

Cons: None

Other: Being small and black they can be easy to lose; I bought more than one for this reason.

A great, rattle free mute.

Pros: It's a very wise choice if you have a lively instrument - the standard round mute rattles a lot, to the point where I remove it, and then it's never there when I need it!

Cons: Nothing. It's the best design for my violin and viola.

Great value, easy to use.

Pros: Easy to fix on. Can be left on the string at the "chin rest end" without any detriment of sound.

Cons: Bit fiddly to get off. Only fits on one string so it's a 'gentle' mute .
