ABSTRACT:
A guitar mute has a tubular body of elasticized terrycloth. Hook and eye fasteners provide selectable tension on the strings when the mute is attached to the neck of the guitar. A felt pad sewn into the middle of the mute adapts to the contour of the fingerboard. Being slightly shorter than the distance between the two outermost strings, the felt pad, along with the elastic in the tubular body, provides an even pressure to all strings. The mute can be slid along the neck with one hand without removing the mute from the guitar.
