You can mute your violin or viola for different reasons:

1) You want to play 'con sordino' in an orchestra
2) You don't want to bother your neighbors while practicing at home
3) You want to protect your hearing from the sound of your violin

Different situations, different mutes...

In this video you will learn when to use which mute.

Buy your mute here (mutes demonstrated in the video)!

Also I will demonstrate different mutes, so you can pick the one you think is best for your situation.

Is this video useful to you? Please let me know in the comments!

Love,

Zlata
