Leather Mutes by Emma Alter

Saraband Music is now a stockist for leather mutes by Emma Alter. These three-pronged historical mutes are proving popular among early music ensembles and orchestras, as well as with modern players.

Orchestras using these mutes include: Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment, the Gabrieli Consort and Players, English Baroque Soloists, Academy of Ancient Music, Australian Brandenburg Orchestra and many more.

Players have described the mutes as:

"so good I'd like to eat it"

"the most beautiful sounding leather mute I've played with"

"the mute I've been waiting for"

Emma Alter also makes a modern mute which stays on the instrument. These are available on special order only through Saraband Music. The three pronged mutes are kept in stock.

Mutes available for all sizes of viols on special order only.
