The only protective exercise mute Review: screws are for decoration only - This certainly does the job. It is a nice heavy metal mute covered in rubber. It stays on the violin and the sound is very quiet, but good. However, I think that it is too expensive for what it is and the only reason I was willing to spend on it was because I thought that the screws made it adjustable. In fact they are there only for decoration. Review: Viola mute - Unable to put it on the bridge of Yamaha viola at all. Tried to open slots a bit more with a screwdriver but unsuccessfully. I will try to shave off some of the rubber , like other reviewer suggested. This is all in all unacceptable , especially given the price. ## Features - Artino Practice mute For violin / viola - Artino practice mute for VN / VA - Material: Metal covered with rubber Features: Retains the sound quality and protects the bridge - The only protective practice mute ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B006GCNUHQ | | Back Material Type | Metal | | Best Sellers Rank | 25,430 in Musical Instruments & DJ ( See Top 100 in Musical Instruments & DJ ) 58 in Brass Instrument Mutes | | Body Material Type | Rubber | | Brand Name | Artino | | Colour | Gray | | Customer Reviews | 3.6 3.6 out of 5 stars (12) | | Finish Type | Metal | | Global Trade Identification Number | 04712389670311 | | Included Components | Practice Mute | | Instrument | Violin | | Item Dimensions | 7.6 x 5.1 x 2.5 centimetres | | Item Weight | 0.05 Kilograms | | Manufacturer | Otto Musica | | Manufacturer Part Number | APM-01 | | Material Type | Metal | | Model Number | APM-01 | | Number of Strings | 4 | | Operation Mode | Manual | | Size | Vollgröße | | String Material Type | Metal | | Top Material Type | Metall | ## Product Details - **Back material type:** Metal - **Brand:** Artino - **Colour:** Gray - **Finish type:** Metal - **Instrument:** Violin - **Item dimensions L x W x H:** 7.6 x 5.1 x 2.5 centimetres - **Item weight:** 0.05 Kilograms - **Size:** Vollgröße - **String material type:** Metal - **Top material type:** Metall ## Images ![Artino Practice Mute for violin/viola, Japanese import - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51k3raKSV0L.jpg) ![Artino Practice Mute for violin/viola, Japanese import - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61vHnCv3E1L.jpg) ![Artino Practice Mute for violin/viola, Japanese import - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51oXy8+wGWL.jpg) ![Artino Practice Mute for violin/viola, Japanese import - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41qTm5ba7tL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: does it mute as well as the heavy metal mute?** A: Yes, this works amazing! This video of a girl playing with it on and off https://youtu.be/i8W5HT6AW60 helped me decide b/c you can totally hear the difference. They also compare how it sounds inside and outside a room w/ the door closed. Another benefit to this particular mute over the all metal one is that you don't have to worry about it damaging your violin if it happens to fall off, etc. **Q: Esta sordina sirve para Violonchelo?** A: Esa sordina es para viola o violín. La de Chelo es más grande debido al grosor la madera del puente. **Q: Can you loosen the screws so the mute will sit lower on a thicker bridge? You can adjust it to fit thicker bridges?** A: I don't think this mute is adjustable. But if you're thinking that it doesn't fit because you have a thicker bridge, that probably isn't the case. This mute just doesn't fit all the way over the bridge. It's normal for this mute to sit up high. **Q: Can this be used for cello as well?** A: I don’t think so due to the size difference in the bridge. You may want to Google cello mutes to double check! ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐ screws are for decoration only *by K***5 on 11 December 2017* This certainly does the job.
