Violin and Viola Mutes for Sale!

QUESTION: When does a mute shout out loud with color and sparkle?

ANSWER: When I make them to do so, of course!

As a musician, I sometimes have to use a mute, a tool that is affixed to the strings, on the bridge of various stringed instruments to quiet or "mute" the sound. I might use one on my violin for a certain orchestra piece, or just to practice so that my family can do their activities around the house in a more quiet atmosphere.

Cobalt Blue Mute 

Multicolored Mute

Eight months ago I started making glitter and glitter rhinestone mutes for the violin as well as viola. Not many people know that I make them in my free time, so I thought it would be a good topic for a post.  I make them in different colors:

• light green
• grass green
• hunter green
• cobalt blue
• aqua blue
• ocean blue
• dark/sea blue
• electric blue
• teal
• periwinkle
• dark purple
• violet
• fuchsia 
• baby pink
• cherry red
• carrot
• copper
• gold
• rose gold
• frostbite silver 
• multicolored
• black and gold mix*
• gold*

* = chunk glitter
All other glitters that don't have "*" next to them, are superfine glitters.

If requested, I make them with rhinestones lined up on the top.

Cherry Red with Silver Rhinestones Mute

For rhinestones, I am working with the colors, Pink, Silver, Red, Yellow, Green, Teal and Blue. More colors are available upon request.

In addition to being a musician, I also enjoy crafting visual art. Making my Bling for String Mute Designs is a way to bring my music and crafting together. If you are interested in purchasing one of my mute designs I invite you to visit my Bling for Strings Store for more information and pricing.
