I moved into an apartment complex recently, and my practice was suffering because I was only playing with the top-third of my bow to avoid making too much noise. My teacher recommended I get a practice mute and had already introduced me to Johnson String in the past. I ordered online, and this came in the mail in a few days. It's perfect, and I was shocked when I used it for the first time at how well it dampens the sound from my violin. Now I'm able to practice at any time of day, and I'm not concerned about my neighbors hearing me at all. Please note that the mute doesn't sit down onto your bridge as far as it does in the advertised photo. Just gently line it up and press it onto your bridge so that it stays in place, and you're good to go.

I'm grateful that I have a resource like Johnson String Instrument within driving distance, and that the website is easy to use and straightforward whenever I do not want to take a trip to the physical store location.

I moved into an apartment complex that does nooooot appreciate musicians, so I had to scramble to find a way to keep up with practicing. This mute is the quietest of the lot so far, and works well. I do not like how it sits so lightly/precariously on the bridge—it has a tendency to fall off when you lower your violin if you’re not careful. But it does the job well, and I am grateful for it.

The website is a tad difficult to navigate, and I don't recall getting any shipping notification-the package just showed up in the mail one day. I am glad to've been able to support a local business, and grateful that you carried what I needed!
Why Trust Verified Reviews?
Verified Reviews are real, authentic reviews collected from actual paying customers, using Shopper Approved's Verified Review Platform. When reviews are Verified by Shopper Approved, you know that you can trust them to make better buying decisions.
Unverified Reviews on the other hand, are reviews collected by Open Review platforms that allow anyone to leave a review, without any validation or proof of purchase. Unfortunately, most reviews you read online are Unverified Reviews, and can't be trusted.
As a consumer, here's how you can tell the difference:
Verified Reviews from Verified Review Platforms like Shopper Approved, have much higher review counts and higher overall Star ratings, because they attempt to collect reviews from every single paying customer.
Unverified Reviews from Open Review Platforms, tend to have much lower review counts and more negative Star ratings, because people with bad experiences are primarily those who leave reviews. This often creates a misleading, inaccurate portrayal of a companies true reputation.
So, when searching for Verified Reviews, look for the name you know you can trust. Shopper Approved.
