Keen Amateur

Practical and effective

Pros: It both works when on the bridge and stays still when resting near the tail piece.

Cons: Comes off slightly too easily if you are fiddling around with it.

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 .

Cons: Nothing so far

warms the sound of my 'student' fiddle
1 out of 2 found the following review helpful

Pros: Dinky little mute that has transformed the sound of my nasty pub fiddle into something a bit more mellow and warm. Easy to fit and move about. Wish I had bought a second one at the price!

Cons: Nothing - maybe could get damaged.
