You want to practice late at night without waking the family or bothering your neighbors. A regular mute just doesn’t cut it – and playing without any mute is too loud. The ARTINO practice mute clips onto your bridge and instantly reduces volume by over 50%, letting you hear your intonation and technique clearly while keeping the sound confined to your practice room. Made of soft silicone, it won’t scratch your instrument or bridge. Choose the PM‑01 for violin/viola (fits 4/4 and 3/4) or the PM‑02 for cello. The deeper you slide it onto the bridge, the stronger the muting effect. Perfect for apartments, dorms, or any situation where you need to play without disturbing others.

| Step | Action |
|---|---|
| 1 | Hold the mute with the slot facing downward. |
| 2 | Gently slide it onto the center of the bridge from the side. |
| 3 | Push it down until it grips firmly. Deeper insertion = more muting effect. |
| 4 | If your bridge is thicker than the slot, the mute may not slide all the way – as long as it stays clipped, it will still mute. |
1. Will this mute change the pitch or tone of my violin?
It reduces volume but preserves pitch. The tone may become slightly softer or more muffled – this is normal for any practice mute. If you need a pure concert sound, remove the mute.
2. Will it fit my 3/4 size violin or cello?
Yes – both PM‑01 and PM‑02 are designed for 4/4 and 3/4 size instruments. The bridge width is similar on fractional sizes.
3. My bridge is very thick – the mute won’t go all the way down. Is that a problem?
No – as long as the mute stays clipped onto the bridge, it will still reduce volume. The deeper it sits, the stronger the muting effect. Some bridges are too thick for the slot, but partial insertion still works.
4. Can I leave the mute on the bridge when not playing?
We recommend removing it when you store the instrument to avoid unnecessary pressure on the bridge. It takes only seconds to clip on and off.
5. Is the silicone safe for varnish?
Yes – high‑quality silicone is non‑reactive and soft. It will not damage your instrument’s finish. Avoid using rubber mutes that can leave marks.
6. What’s the difference between PM‑01 and PM‑02?
PM‑01 is for violin/viola (smaller, 2.8mm slot). PM‑02 is for cello (larger, 4mm slot). Choose the correct one for your instrument.
