Ultra Rubber Practice Mute
Compared to the metal mute, this product is not as quiet, but has a warmer tone, which is more pleasing to most players. Also, it's safer for the instrument, as the metal mute is slippery and heavy, and if dropped on the instrument can cause varnish damage. For 14 inch Viola, select the 4/4 Violin mute instead of this product.
Ebony Mute
This is the style of mute used historically. It's effect is somewhere between a modern orchestra mute, and a practice mute.
D'Addario Ball/Loop Converter
This accessory adapts a ball E string, for use with a Hill style tuner. Does not require professional installation.
Uni Tuner
Also known as Piccolo. This tuner is suitable for Violin E or Viola A, with steel core. It sits on top of the tailpiece, which has the same benefit as the Hill style, by not shortening the "afterlength" of the string, like the double prong type. Violists using a synthetic core, or gut core A string can use this tuner, but it will be less effective, as these string types are elastic than steel core strings. Does not require professional installation.
