The Alpine Mute Co Menuhin Style Shield Violin and Viola mutes are designed to create the warmest sound possible. The mutes do not generally rattle, playing used and moving on and off the bridge without undue noise. They have been extensively tested to ensure the best quality and sound.
"The Professional model from The Alpine Mute Co is my mute of choice because of the warm, glowing, muted sounds it produces on my Stradivarius violin. Practically it moves silently on and off the bridge and doesn't rattle, which is an essential part of the performance!"
"I love my Professional model; it really mutes my Grancino viola but doesn't change the sound character. A great mute!"
"I use the Artist model on my viola in the university symphony orchestra. It doesn't rattle, so I don't have to take it off and risk losing it after every rehearsal. I think it sounds great too!"
