D'Addario Super-Sensitive Spector Mute for Violin

The Spector Violin Mute reduces the instrument’s volume during practice and performance, easily and quickly sliding up to engage. While not in use, the mute remains on the instrument without affecting its sound.

This orchestral mute was designed by Fred Spector, who has 45 years of experience as a Chicago Symphony Orchestra violinist. The Spector mute can remain on your violin continuously. When not used, the A and D strings hold the mute in place with no buzzing or rattling. When the score calls for a mute (con Sordino), the player can quickly and easily slide the mute forward until its lip rests over the top of the bridge. When it is time to go Senza Sordino, you can slide the mute back toward the tailpiece. This mute is made of a synthetic material that slides easily over the bridge.

• Volume Reduction - Whether you need to minimize your sound for smaller performances, practice a bit more quietly, or play music that requires a muted part, the D’Addario Spector Violin Mute is the best way to reduce your volume.
• Ease of Use - This compact violin practice mute fits between the A and D strings of the violin and is easily engaged by simply sliding it up over the bridge.
• Quality Design - Initially designed by Fred Spector, a 45-year veteran violinist of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra.
• Stays in the Instrument - While not in use, slide it back down, and the mute remains on the instrument without interfering with your playing or sound.
• Available in black and copper colours.
