Wiessmeyer & Son Viowiess Prizma Mutes For Viola Mutes Viola

Viowiess Prizma Viola Mutes are lighter, more flexible versions of the 3D sound Color mutes. 3D printing using 14 base colors creates a unique, almost holographic look; no two mutes are the same. Color varies quite a bit, we pick for you. Please contact us if you are particular about hue!

 Choose from 4 styles, or choose them all!

• Viol: designed to produce a light, playful mezzo piano; this mute is an updated model inspired by the traditional 1-hole rubber mute
• Dual Tone: reviving a popular shape from earlier centuries when mutes were crafted from bone, leather or metal, this model can be placed on top of the bridge for a pianissimo that filters out higher & lower overtones while preserving mid-range overtones, or positioned right against the bridge for mezzo piano.
• Square: this model can be used as either a slide mute or disc mute, allowing the mute to create orchestral mezzo piano and pianissimo effects.
• Disc: based on the popular 2-hole rubber mute, the Prizma offers updated design & materials for improved sound while playing moderate pianissimo without buzzing or rattling.
