Problem of empty strings at the mandocello

[morix]

At the mandolin, to avoid the sounds maintained of empty strings, I use a pinch string instead.
In mandocello, it seems more difficult given me the spacing of the boxes.
What do you do to stop the vibration of a empty string?

Muting with the heel of the right hand and damping as I release the string about to be left open. If they begin to resonate sympathetically while unused I also mute with either the index or smallest finger on the left hand.

Thank you Beanzy!
So, it is the same technique as the guitar ?

I'm not sure exactly what you are asking about. You could mean:

1. When playing chords using open strings, how do I stop the sound of the open string(s) when I change chords?
Answer(s) - quick mute of all strings with the left hand when changing chords. Palm or heel mute of all or affected strings using the right hand.

2. When playing a two or three course chord, how do I prevent the sound from an open string?
Answer - don't play it in the first place. If a low string (C or G) mute with a wrap around using the left thumb. If a higher string (D or A) mute with left pinky.

I've come at the mandoloncello from the violoncello and mandolin, so I have no real reference for any guitar crossover.
There are a lot of guitarists choosing the 'cello now, but I tend to hold the mandoloncello much more upright than those guitarists I've seen outside orchestra situations. Perhaps classical guitar techniques could help a lot as they use a more vertical position?
