Viola Mute · Tourte Style
Round rubber mute,
for con sordino passages.
A round rubber orchestral mute in the Tourte pattern, made to sit on the D and G strings over the bridge for muted passages on the viola.
How it works
On for con sordino, parked for tutti.
Slide the mute onto the D and G strings above the bridge for a softer, veiled tone whenever the part calls for con sordino. The rubber dampens the bridge enough to colour the sound without choking response.
Between muted passages it parks happily on the strings just behind the bridge, near the tailpiece, ready to slide back into place. It also comes off in a moment when you no longer need it.
