Viola Tourte Mute

Simple. Effective. Always ready.

The Tourte Viola Mute is the standard orchestral mute used by violists everywhere. Made from flexible rubber, it sits discreetly on the strings and can be quickly slid onto the bridge when “con sordino” is required—making it perfect for rehearsals and performance settings.

Designed for convenience, it typically remains on the instrument at all times, so you’re never caught off guard during a passage. It softens the volume while maintaining a clear, focused tone—without drastically altering the character of your sound.

Features:

• Classic Tourte-style rubber mute
• Sits on the strings and slides onto the bridge instantly
• Reduces volume while preserving tone
• Ideal for orchestral use (“con sordino”)
• Suitable for most viola sizes

A small essential—simple, reliable, and used by virtually every player.
