Mute Force

The same virtuosity you've come to expect from the Studio Solo Strings, but with an added dimension: these instruments are played con sordino – with a mute. Players and connoisseurs alike know that this subtle modification transforms the entire dynamic range of the instrument, softening and dampening the sound, while unlocking an entirely new world of tonal possibilities. The reduced transmission of energy from the strings to the instrument’s body reshapes the overtones and harmonics. Not merely quieter, these strings will provide unexpected layers that are equally at home in a traditional classical environment as they are at cinematic scoring where the subdued subtle sordino flavor is often used.
