How to Make a Violin Mute from a Dollar Bill

  • Here is a rather silly video that shows you how to make a violin (or viola or cello) mute from a dollar bill. Of course, you could also use a twenty, but that might be too expensive.
    My assistant in this video is my stepson DJ Jazzy Jack, but he only wanted to do the beginning and then he needed to get back to the club.
    Also, I am offering a wonderful prize for the first person to correctly identify the music in this video (not the Sarasate toward the end BTW). The prize will be of the same value as the famous Marvel Comics No-Prize. Good luck!

    Every concertmaster and conductor should see this. So much time is lost due to mutes that have suddenly dusappeared.

    I can't belive it worked! So cool! I hope, how, hope that this will work for my vertical viola because I'm at a loss trying to find a mute. If this doesn't work, I'll have to get one custom made.

    is there anyway I could use a regular piece of paper?

    • @chuckgviolin3538
      @chuckgviolin3538  8 ปีที่แล้ว

      You could, but regular paper is way more rigid than the cotton blend that is money. It would be more difficult to get it through the strings because it doesn't bend as easily.

      wow ... this is from four years ago and youre probably not going to see this, but i've found that crumpling up paper many times, over and over again, makes the paper really soft and flexible !

    A close up shot of the mute would have been helpful. Instead, we got a shoe joke. Fine... lol
