Tourte Original Viola Mute – Black Rubber Orchestra Mute

The Original Tourte Viola Mute is one of the classic orchestra mutes used by string players worldwide.

Made from flexible molded rubber, the Tourte mute is designed to sit securely on the string when not in use and slide quickly onto the bridge when a muted passage is required. Its lightweight design provides a light, controlled muting effect while preserving a clear, natural response.

A small molded grip at the top makes the mute easy to move on and off the bridge, while the elastic rubber construction helps minimize rattling and unwanted contact with the string.

Ideal for orchestra, chamber music, rehearsals, lessons, and light practice, the original Tourte remains a simple, reliable accessory every violist should keep in the case.
