wrong item shipped: flaccid rubber mute missing Ultra USA inscriptions

margot, from belgium 13.01.2019

The Ultra USA muter is a good product, since I tested my teachers' piece and was very sattisfied with it. Unfortunately, Thomann shipped another muter than the one displayed on the site, which is of a poor quality: a flaccid rubber piece that misses the ULTRA USA inscriptions on the back as displayed on the website. It has hardly any mute-capacity, so I had to send it back. This has been a dissapointing experience.

Probably the easiest one to use

Marko159 12.09.2015

I got this in order to use it with a 5-string electric cello so I did use a knife to carve one end open. This didn't seem to affect the sound, so the review is probably still relevant.

It's a decent basic rubber mute. It doesn't dampen the sound as much as wood or metal does but it changes the sound in similar fashion (although each material does sound slightly different). So if you are considering getting a mute in order to be able to practice at night, this might not be the best one for you. On the other hand if you only want to achieve the muted sound, it's well worth considering. It is easier to install and take off than wood or metal ones and doesn't make dents in the bridge.

Snug but at a price

Anonymous 31.03.2014

This is a serious piece of dampening kit - as in it really muffles the sound to allow you to practice late at night! Seems to be a nice snug fit over my bridge and holds it shape well. Looks like a cheap piece of kit but invaluable!

Simple tool, expected result

Cello12 26.04.2019

The mute fits easily on the cello bridge and blocks wide range of frequencies with variable degree of success. Works fine when practice room acoustics are too loud or when there is a need for practice in a hotel or shared apartment. But the mute is not massive enough to provide complete "stealth" or "night practice" possibilities.

This mute does not really mute my cello a lot. It doesn't matter whether I use it or not, the sound level/vibrations stays more or less the same. It fits the bridge nicely and doesn't touch the strings.

Great practice mute

Dan1991 02.12.2018

This mute fits snugly on the bridge of my cello, and is rubber coated so as to prevent any damage should it fall off. It doesn't leave black marks like the last one I tried, and I would guess it dampens the sound by about 30%. A cello will always remain a 'louder' instrument, but this little invention is probably going to save a lot of neighbours from premature insanity.

I'm really glad I bought it!

Much better sound than ebony mute.

Richard aus Q. 12.11.2018

Sound is way better than the ebony mute we had (which sounded like under water). Recommended.

prefer a metal one

M.VV 28.08.2020

Bought it to reduce the sound and practice in hotels or late at night but it doesn't dampen the sound almost at all!

Good mute

Hammer2021 27.09.2021

I've tried a few mutes, and this one is good. It reduces volume down to an acceptable practice level.

ultra mute

David B. 812 11.06.2013

I guess the main use for this is for making the instrument quieter for late night practicing but I have using it because the sound is quite interesting. Like a normal mute but just much more muted sound.
