Ebony Performance Mute for Upright Bass

Made of ebony, this bass mute is the classic three prong style. It´s designed for performance muting; by attaching it to the bridge, it dampens the instrument´s vibrations and results in a "softer" sound. It does not notably decrease the volume of the instrument. (For that, you need a "practice mute," which is usually a big, heavy rubber contraption that more fully deadens the sound.)

It is temporarily attached to the top of the bridge, by friction with one "finger" between each pair of strings. It can be easily placed and removed with one hand, as needed, to suit the requirements of the piece you´re playing.

Very nice quality, real ebony.

NB: Denne muten må som regel tilpasses til stolen ved å file ned innsiden av "bladene" som står mot hverandre. Stoler kommer i mange ulike tykkelser og former, og det er meningen at man må tilpasse den til den enkelte stol.
