Wiessmeyer Leather Violin Mute
Description
The Wiessmeyer Leather Mute is a premium accessory for violin and viola players, handcrafted in Boston, USA, from genuine American bovine leather. Unlike rubber or metal mutes, it reduces volume while preserving the instrument's tonal richness and overtones. Its unique slot and notch design allows for two distinct muting effects: a full mute when placed directly on the bridge, and a mezzo-piano effect when positioned just behind it. Over time, the leather conforms to your instrument's bridge, ensuring a custom fit. This mute is favored by professionals for its ability to maintain sound quality during muted passages.
šµ Staff Notes šµ
A standout mute that balances volume reduction with tonal integrity. Its dual-position design offers versatility for various musical contexts. The leather construction not only provides durability but also enhances the instrument's natural sound. An excellent choice for musicians seeking both functionality and quality.
