The Roth Sihon Cello mute effectively uses rubber to dampen the sound of the strings, making it an excellent choice for those looking to reduce volume while playing.
The tool remains on the instrument and can be moved up to the bridge when necessary or down to the tailpiece when unused.
To properly install the mute, pinch the G and D strings together and smoothly slide the mute down over them. The two strings will then lock the mute, ensuring a secure fit.
