Tourte Mute - Double Bass
The Tourte mute is the classic round rubber orchestral mute, sized for the double bass. It sits on the two middle strings behind the bridge, so it's always on hand, and slides up onto the bridge in a moment when the music is marked con sordino.
On the bridge it softens the volume and brightness of the double bass for orchestral and ensemble passages, then slides straight back off when the section ends. It's an orchestral mute rather than a practice mute, so the reduction is gentle and the tone stays warm.
