ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to an improved mute which is used for stringed instruments. The invention comprises a holder and a first engaging surface for engaging a major surface of the bridge of a stringed instrument such as a violin. At least one second engaging surface is provided which is movably positioned relative to the first engaging surface such that it may abut either the other engaging surface or the opposite major surface of the bridge. Means are provided for mounting the engaging surfaces to the holder so that they are generally in a facing, movable and pivotable relationship to one another. Means are also provided for biasing the first engaging surface toward the second engaging surface with sufficient force to retain the mute on the bridge.
