Mutes
Original Tourte Mute

Endpin Rests
Xeros Endpin Anchor
Failsafe security. Works on any surface. The D Ring attaches to the leg of your chair. Adjustable strap length for any size player, or any length of end pin.
Super Stop
Also known as Black Hole, or Dycem. Gummy rubber bottom material is very good at sticking to most any surface. A small lip around the edge creates a suction, for extra strength hold. You might have to kick this end pin rest to get it off the floor! Keep it clean of dust and it will work very well.
Wolf Eliminators
Danish Style Wolf Eliminator
Attaches to the string behind the bridge. Changing the position modulates the effect.
RezX Resonance Modulator
This product is not so much a wolf eliminator as a tone adjuster. It can function as a wolf tone eliminator, but the intent is to use it to modulate the response and tone balance of an instrument by experimenting with the best placement on the body. Attaches magnetically. Felt covered, to protect varnish.
New Harmony Wolf Tone Eliminators
Available in a range of weights, to match the relative severity of a wolf tone. Attaches to the string behind the bridge, as other models, but does not have a rubber insert. The metal to metal contact allows this product to be lighter, thereby causing less dampening effect on the instrument as a whole. Image shown includes Cello and Bass models. Feel free to order several to try, and return accordingly.

Planet Waves Micro Fiber Cloth

K&K Bass Max
The Bass Max is an upright bass transducer. It uses a "sandwich" design with two piezos layered together, one facing up and one down. This allows for a quick and simple wedge-mount into a bridge wing and ensures even transmission from the strings and from the body of the instrument. The Bass Max is very sturdy and has a high output signal that is balanced over the whole tone range. It is suitable for both arco and pizzicato playing styles because it transmits a broader mid frequency range. This enables the musician to change playing modes without having to adjust the amplifier. The connection jack is held in place by a special attachment clamp mounted at the A and D strings between string-holder and bridge.
