"[Our] string quartet just recorded Hindemith's 3rd quartet with a set of your leather mutes ... and our instruments sounded fantastic!"

"Congratulations! When I received my new leather mute, I immediately tried it playing "La Fille aux Cheveux de Lin" and suddenly it became "La Femme aux Cheveux de Lin". If a mute could be considered sexy, yours is it! There's no comparison with the synthetic alternatives. Thank you!"

"I was thrilled to discover the leather mute by Marcel Saint-Cyr. It accesses a palette of subtle colors without interfering with the core of the sound. I am able to store the leather mute conveniently on the c-string in the peg box of my viola for easy use."
