Spector Violin Mute
Designed by Fred Spector, former violinist for the Chicago Symphony, the Spector mute
offers violinists a mute at the ready! The Spector violin mute remains full-time
on the violin nestled between the A and D string. When a piece of music requires a
muted part, simply slide the Spector mute forward until its lip comfortably rests
on top of the bridge. Once finished, simply slide the Spector mute back toward the
tailpiece. Available in traditional black and original copper.
