eBoot Rubber 4/4 Violin Practice Mute, Black

This works exactly as described and opens up more practice time!

It works great in cutting down the sound , so practice does not disturb anyone else

First off, I opened the package it was in and people ain’t kiddin’, the thing initially stinks pretty bad lol. It DID air out pretty fast, though, and ceased to be noticeable within a few minutes unless I shoved my schnoz directly in it. It also seems to muffle sound fairly well. Not quite as much as I was hoping, but I doubt anyone’s going to be banging down my door wondering if I’m killing a cat now, as I try and remember what I’m doing after a long absence. It also seems to slightly alter the tuning, juuust enough to be the tiniest bit odd. So maybe tune it after you put the mute on for best results. Overall, I’m happy with it so far. Will update if it explodes or something else terrible happens to make me hate it down the line.

works great and as it should!

Coolest thing ever. Bought it for my daughter because she loves to practice in the living room and it can be so loud. Immediate game changer. 100% recommend for all parents.

It’s a good product

Me encanta el sonido que da

Mutes work by giving inertia to the bridge and, in the case of soft rubber like this, converting some sound energy into heat. The heavier they are, the more inertia, so the metal ones may give you 18 or 24dBA down. At the risk of damaging your instrument of course when they fall off. This light rubber provides about 12dBA which is the equivalent of closing an ordinary household door. I would say this would allow practice in a hotel room to maybe 10pm and after that better to use a metal one. It’s too much muting for performance use; the tourté mutes are designed for that. But this is perhaps just right for saving your left ear from all that sawing. It does take away much of the power of the instrument of course, but it will stop you from holding back on your bowing, so when you do take it off, you’ll wail. Be sure to take a cuticle scissor and trim off any rubber tailings muting the strings directly on these.

Bon produit d'en l'ensemble fait bien sont job. Il est juste assez imposant mais ça va. Rapport qualité-prix très intéressant

Was erstmal missviel sind die übrig gebliebenen Gummireste an den Kanten des Dämpfers. Aufgesetzt dämpft er die Violine sehr angenehm und wirklich sehr leise. Auch das Klang und Spielgefühl bleibt erhalten. Macht direkt Spaß damit und ich kann endlich abends volle kanne spielen. Hab nur übersehen, dass das Ding von weit weit her kommt. Lieferzeit war dann aber wie angegeben. Klare Empfehlung!

How much excitement can I generate about a violin mute? Perhaps a little, as it saves my family and neighbours from hearing me practice all day. This eBoot slips on quickly and easily, provides a decent amount of muting without altering the sound much, and fits nicely in my violin case. I've replace my other two mutes with this one, I like it that much! If you or a family (or neighbour!) want a decent mute for practicing, this is the best I've tried.

The product works well to quieten the volume of my violin, it certainly doesn't mute it, but it reduces the volume to a level where I am comfortable practicing in my room without people in other rooms (or even my neighbours) hearing. The mute is quite tricky to apply, the rubber ends pinch together which means you either need to hold them apart to place it on the bridge (which is a tricky move to pull) or you have to push it on which causes me to worry about the bridge moving. It appears as though there is not supposed to be a pinch (based upon the product image) and so for this it loses a star.
