You can have MUTEY close at hand, placed on your tail piece, just a few centimeters away from the bridge. If you have a modern type of tail piece on your instrument you can put MUTEY in one of the empty string holes. |

If you have a baroque type of a tail piece your violin maker can drill a special hole, or better still, you can buy one of String King's baroque or classical tail piece models with the hole specially designed for MUTEY (Tail pieces for Mutey). |

Different types of mutes hanging on strings behind the bridge influence the vibration of the strings even when they are in "resting" position. MUTEY is installed on the tail piece itself, becomes in a way a part of it and in this way does not mute when not on the bridge. Its pin, which is placed into the tailpiece hole is covered with leather which makes it stable and secure. You should always put it in and out of a tail piece by twisting. But remember to take MUTEY off before closing your instrument case. Of course you can keep MUTEY, as any other wooden mute, separately and put it on when needed. |

Tail pieces for MUTEY If you want to put String King's revolutionary clip-on mute MUTEY on your historical instrument you may order one of the baroque or classical tail pieces in our shop. It has the hole specially drilled for placing MUTEY. Some models have a saddle as an integral part of the tail piece. Violins before the middle of 18th century usually had low tail gut saddles and the saddle of the tail piece is a kind of replacement. It creates the right angle of strings on the bridge of a violin. These models are made based on preserved original tail pieces (look at "Matching products" below). |
