TourteTwo Hole Double Bass Mute
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A cheap slide-on practice mute for double bass. Buy it to cut volume for quiet practice or a softer passage.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Practicing in apartments, dorms or shared rehearsal rooms
- Orchestral parts calling for muted passages
- Keeping a spare mute in the gig bag at low cost
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Players wanting full silence — it reduces volume, not eliminates it
- Cello, viola or violin, which need their own size
- Anyone who dislikes something resting on the strings between takes
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
Stays on the instrument
Parks between bridge and tailpiece when unused, so you can mute and unmute mid-piece without hunting for it.
Detail 03
Double bass sizing
Cut for bass string spacing and thickness. Smaller orchestral strings will not hold it properly.
Detail 04
$10
Cheap enough to leave one on each bass you play rather than moving a single mute around.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Muting changes tone as well as volume — the sound goes darker and duller
- 02Leaving it parked on the strings can rattle if it sits loose
- 03Check your bridge and string spacing before ordering; fit varies between basses
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01How quiet does it actually get?
It takes the edge and volume down noticeably. It is a practice and orchestral mute, not a silencer — you will still be heard.
02Does it stay on while I play unmuted?
Yes. It parks between the bridge and tailpiece and slides up to the bridge when you need it.
03Will this fit my cello?
No. It is sized for double bass strings and spacing.
04Does it damage the strings or bridge?
Sliding it on and off repeatedly wears the contact point over time, but normal use is not harmful.
