A low profile, light-weight design reduces player fatigue while allowing clear line of sight to the fingerboard. Unlike other flexible mutes, the Catrpilr is made of a synthetic material that cannot smudge or stain the bridge. Magnetic clamping feet wrapped in a soft outer shell secure the mute in place. Compared to metal practice mutes, the Catrpilr cannot fall off or scrape the bridge and the profile is low enough that the mute can safely be left on even when the instrument is in a case. Model v1.1.2020. Patent Pending. Made in USA. Please visit the manufacturer website for detailed mounting instructions. Do not attempt to mount the catrpilr like other traditional push-on mutes. The catrpilr is designed to be mounted using one hand while the instrument is held between the chin and shoulder. First attach the middle foot to the bridge and then work your way outwards. The outside feet have a small catch on the back that is designed to be used to hook the outer feet around the bridge.

I live in an apartment and have tried 3 other mutes already. This mute is a good balance between volume and quality. Other mutes I have tried have made my violin playing quieter, but at the expense of quality.

This is only the second mute I've ever handled, but the first (cheap) one was very easy to slide on and it did the job - I'm not sure of other use cases but I was just trying to not disturb neighbors while practicing. This one also does that job but it's SUCH a massive pain to put on - you have to start with one end, pry it open, get it on there, then keep it from sliding off as you kind of repeat that 4 more times while also having to push the thing just so to get it between the strings.I threw away the packaging a bit too fast so I can't return it, but I will probably have to buy a different one if I find myself needing it any more often than "very rarely"
