Mute Tourte Double Bass

A simple but essential orchestral accessory, the Tourte Double Bass Mute gives players an easy way to achieve a softer, darker and more veiled tone when required in performance.

Made from durable flexible rubber, it slips securely over the bridge to dampen high overtones and mellow the instrument’s natural resonance, creating the classic con sordino sound used throughout orchestral repertoire. Designed in the traditional Tourte style, it can remain attached to the strings behind the bridge when not in use, allowing for quick silent engagement during fast mute changes.

Compact, lightweight and inexpensive, it is one of those practical double bass essentials that every orchestral player should keep in the case.
