Product Details

Caterpillar mutes significantly reduce volume whilst enhancing healthy intonation and bow control. The lightweight, low-profile design minimises player fatigue and ensures a clear line of sight to the fingerboard. Made from a synthetic material, this mute avoids smudging or staining the bridge and is securely held in place with its magnetic clamping feet wrapped in a soft outer shell. Unlike traditional metal mutes, the Caterpillar remains securely attached without the risk of falling off or scraping the bridge. It can remain mounted during storage thanks to its compact profile, making it convenient for players. For proper application, attach the middle foot to the bridge first, then extend outwards, using one hand while holding the instrument between chin and shoulder. Model v1.1.2020. Patent Pending. Made in the USA.
