Product Description

Nordy Bass Mute 5 String has an effect that is akin to upright-like inhibition of resonance. A kind of execution of sustain—its body subject to an almost unnaturally fast decay.

But what’s especially significant about the Nordy Bass Mute 5 String is the uniquely versatile quality it lends to the player’s particular style. A lot of mutes will stunt playability, creating an awkward relationship in player to instrument intonation and articulation. In contrast, the Nordstrand Bass Mute 5 is designed for easy adjustment, giving the player modulating intonation and articulation instead of being stuck with one mode of mutability—of MUTE-ation. This modulating quality comes from the mute’s foam body pinching the strings, whereas most mutes push against them. To put it simply, pinch over push is what leaves the Nordy Mute’s intonation without compromise.
