After winding the string around the peg, how do you keep the string tight/from popping back loose again? This has always given me trouble,

do you think the artino metal/rubber mute is good enough to not annoy apartment neighbors? or would you recommend the full metal mute. and what if you dont want to wake up someone in the same apartment?

Ah… The sound of a flat note. How cringe-inducing. Good video, though.

Great video, although that out of tune open D REALLY bothered me lol. I’m really OCD though, but thanks. Huge help.

thanku! this video is exactly what I needed!
December 28, 2012, 6:04 amjorgepeterbarton says:
ah yes i have one now and its strange it can dampen it by just sitting on the bridge..
December 28, 2012, 6:21 amon guitar or bass some occasional vintage models have a mute that is designed for the muted guitar or double-bass like sound and they sit on the string to decrease sustain. like putting your hand on the string.
SallyAura says:
Do the holes in an orchestral mute make any difference on their efficiency???
December 28, 2012, 6:23 amsir9integra9jr says:
I certainly do! The Tourte mute is clearer and the practice mutes are far more effective in dampening the sound (not to mention that they don’t fall over, and they look nicer)
December 28, 2012, 6:36 amsir9integra9jr says:
They don’t actually change the length of the string. They sit on the bridge and hover just above the string, so the intonation is exactly the same.
December 28, 2012, 6:47 amrlusher3 says:
THOSE INSTRUMENTS ARE SO OUT OF TUNE AHH
December 28, 2012, 6:49 amjorgepeterbarton says:
won’t some of those practice mutes affect the intonation of the cello?
December 28, 2012, 7:04 amas its infront of the bridge and shortening the string?
staying in tune is big part of practicing so i’m just wondering whether they will through me off.
NJBlacka says:
Im sorry, but this just bothered me during the video. Don’t get me wrong, it’s a great video! But I am a violinist so it bothered me a little. When doing videos that require you to play instruments like the violin and viola demonstrated here, make sure they are perfectly in tune. Its just a suggestion. But i have already ordered a mute from you guys after trying one out. Thanks!
December 28, 2012, 7:12 amJakes Grimley says:
well i got my grandma to sit on the bridge while I play which provided slightly better muting,.

always have a moron to thumb down.
December 28, 2012, 8:16 ammany tks man for the amazing video.
leontd says:
Do you recommend these mutes over the wooden clothespin technique?
December 28, 2012, 8:41 amWong Yee Wan says:
very useful! Thanks~
December 28, 2012, 9:19 amSharMusicTV says:
It does stay put fairly well, but if you’re uncomfortable about it, we’d recommend the Artino heavy mute. It mutes just as well and the rubber coating provides a little more security…
December 28, 2012, 9:58 amosirisprotocol says:
Does the metal mute stay in place once its on? I love the muting power it has but I’m worried that in a case of absentmindedness I may lean my violin to the side causing the mute to fall off and damage the violin’s varnish.
December 28, 2012, 10:44 ammegan89898989 says:
Thank you so much for the video! It’s exactly what I needed! I just ordered a metal practice mute.. But a little concerned about the weight :s
December 28, 2012, 11:24 amSharMusicTV says:
Unless your music or band specifically asks for it, I’d expect you’ll be fine without. That said, I always think it’s a good idea to have one sitting on your strings below the bridge just in case. For 99 cents, it’s not a big investment
December 28, 2012, 12:17 pmmoonlightandlove says:
I am about to play blue grass in a band, should I get a orchestral mute for this purpose , or play without?
December 28, 2012, 12:19 pmpmbazman15 says:
your not going to have anything quieter than the last metal mute
December 28, 2012, 12:51 pmmoonlightandlove says:
fantastic and helpful video, certainly helped me choose a mute for my practice and small ones to try. Rubber one is sufficient to allow me to practise after 10pm at home in my flat. any heavier and I think my shoulder would ache. Thanks so much
