Cello mutes

want mutes?

Below is a gallery of cello mutes and shapes I have made in the past. I am able to replicate any of these shapes for comission if interested. Contact me for more info on how the diff woods/shape effect sound.

Classic Cello Mutes

Made to fit most any cello with a nice even muting sound. This design is available in any wood, mahogany being a personal favorite to highlight the warmth and resonance in the tone that the classic design focuses on. Drastic timbre change, softer articulation, while allowing you to keep a nice volume.

Asymmetrical Cello Mutes

Asymmetrical and one-pronged mutes allow you to change the tone of your cello with more specific muting, like coloring part of your range. The asymmetrical mutes with two feet mute differently depending on the direction or strings you place them over, so you have 6 different mute combinations. Great for if you have want to explore more nuanced mutage and resonance across your range in different ways, or if you like how they look. They still sound like a mute
