Sturdy rubber mute fits over your strings, muting them for quiet practice. Now the whole family doesn't have to listen while you work out those tricky passages.

| ...and was cheap. I would guess the sound was cut by half by this mute. |

Just place this thing over the cello's bridge and it will reduce the sound, but at the expense of tone. It fits very snuggly on mine and won't fall off, even if the cello is laid on its side.
Without the mute the cello sounds open and warm, but with it on the cello sounds nasal-y and buzzy to me. It can be annoying, and even frustrating, but the loudness of the cello *is* decreased. By how much? I'd say maybe half as loud. So it's still loud enough to possibly annoy someone. Also, with the mute on there seems to be a compression effect, so playing heavier doesn't necessary make the cello louder.
I guess this mute is the next best thing if you have hostile neighbors or lack one of those "silent" electric cellos. On the other hand, this mute is a really inexpensive solution that comes at a cost, of course.
Does the cello lose *something* with it on? Yes, but sometimes you've just got to practice late at night! |

| This mute does a great job. Much better than I had anticipated. It really dampens the sound of my cello, but allows the various notes to remain distinctive. It works so well that my electronic tuner will still pick up sound and allow my to tune my cello with the mute in place. |
