• Small rubber mute with two slots

• Best for classical musicians who play in ensembles and orchestras
Violin mutes are attached to the instrument's bridge to dampen the sound by limiting the vibration of the bridge, which prevents the instrument from resonating and amplifying the sound produced by the strings.
These small rubber mutes, called Tourte mutes, are the most common type of violin mute. You can find them in both the round shape variety and a violin shape variety.
The mutes have two rubber slots to attach to the two centre strings of the violin in between the bridge and the tailpiece. It can easily be moved on and off the bridge from that position while remaining attached to the strings. This makes it convenient; you can leave it attached to your instrument when you're not using it.
These mutes are often called for in orchestral music with the marking "con sordino," which means "with mute." Any violinist who plays in an orchestra or ensemble will need one of these mutes.
It's important to note that these mutes don't provide a significant difference in volume, so violinists who want a mute not to disturb neighbours while practising may wish to consider another variety of mute.
