9 Tourte Style Black Rubber Mute for All Violins Small Violas Ultra Practice Silencer,

These are orchestral mutes, designed for use in scores that require the effect; they work well for that purpose, are simple to put on and place along the string, and don't block your view of the contact point. But that isn't what I was looking for - For nighttime practice, I needed a serious volume reduction, which I found in the Artino Practice Mute for violin and viola. It's a massive full bridge mute with a rubberized metal body that can be positioned at different depths over the bridge to fine-tune the muted sound quality. Yes, it obscures your view of the contact point, but it's the most effective volume-control method once you've gotten used to it. I've found a reduction mute for a violin - Besides hiding the F-, causing holes in your instrument, which is a bad thing to do.

They do an excellent job, and this was the most affordable option I could find. We have extras for learning children to use.

I've been using this mute on my violin for years, and it produces a warm sound.
