The Bech Magnetic Mute is a mute system which ensures the highest quality of sound with no irritating vibration noises, making it the mute of choice for recording artist and serious string players. A combination of acoustic design, high-tech rubber and magnetic ingenuity, the Bech Magnetic Mute represents an important breakthrough in mute technology. They are available for violins, violas and cellos.
Reasons to choose Bech Mutes:
*No unwanted vibration noises
*Convenience - stays on the instrument with magnetic fastening
*Hi-tech magnet helps the mute find its resting place against the tail piece
*Unique design prevents string abrasion or damage to the instrument
*Unique rounded inner edge on its wedge lip which reduces rosin contamination and stickiness on wedge/mute interface
*Hi-tech rubber is engineered for durability and lasting flexibility, which guarantees a continuing good fit on the bridge
*Acoustic qualities of mute materials allow the voice of the instrument to resonate even while muted
The Bech Magnetic Mute is easy to install. Simply afix self-adhesive pad to the tailpiece with the top of the pad extending slightly above adjacent strings. Then attach the mute to the bridge, in a similar way to a normal orchestral mute, with the magnet facing towards the tailpiece. When you have finished using the mute, take it off the bridge and slide towards the tailpiece where it magnetically attaches to the pad on the tailpiece.
Graphic instructions are also included in each packet. If you have any further questions or concerns, contact your luthier.
***Please note that this mute does not sick as well to wittner ultralight tailpieces and is most suited to wooden ones***
