Tourte Double Bass Round Mute

Instant mute, seamless musical flow.
The Tourte Original Round Bass Mute is a classic, reliable choice for orchestral passages marked con sordino. Made from durable rubber, it slips easily between the D and A strings and stays stored on the strings when not in use, ready to engage at a moment’s notice.

Smart design, serious performance.

• Two holes allow the mute to sit securely on the D and A strings, sliding into position over the bridge whenever needed.
• High-quality rubber construction protects your bridge and strings and can remain on the instrument without interfering with play.
• The rounded Tourte shape follows the bridge’s natural curvature, providing controlled dampening and a warm, focused muted tone.

Why it works.
Ideal for orchestral and chamber settings, this mute gives you an even, “covered” sound while keeping transitions between muted and open playing quick and effortless.

Great for:
Double bassists of all levels — from students to professionals — who need a dependable, easy-to-use mute that won’t disrupt the instrument’s setup.

Usage tips:
Slide the mute onto the D and A strings just behind the bridge when con sordino is required. To return to normal playing, simply slide it back off the bridge — no adjustments needed.
