I have tried many different mutes over the years. A year of lockdown with the family in the small house really made it necessary for me to find something even better than what I had.
As a student on Noam Pikelny's Artistworks-course, my attention was drawn to Mikes Mute, hailed by the a large part of the community as one of the best ones around. I was not disappointed.
It adds enough mass to the bridge to mute more efficiently than any previous mute, I have used. Furthermore, mounting is the easiest and most non-intrusive, I have tried. My previous mute was installed with some difficulty and a hex key and had to be slided backwards from the bridge when not in use. The mute before that was more of a clamp that fit over the bridge and would cause tuning issues when installed an removed. Neither would mute as consistently and as well as the Mike mute.
Buying from Mike and shipping to Europe was a very good experience. I can thoroughly recommend the product.
