ABSTRACT:
A fixedly mounted mute for stringed instruments is provided through clamp means which permit selective manual securement and clamping to the portions of the strings located between the instrument's bridge and the string holder, or tailpiece, to which the strings secure. The construction takes advantage of the characteristics of the material of the clamp means and is of such nature as to prevent dislodgement, or movement thereof due to vibration from the instrument or due to manual manipulation of the mute between operative and inoperative positions. The size of the attachment is nominal so as to render the attachment compatible with the interior dimensions of existing carrying cases for the instruments.
