Re: Mandolin Mutes?
I have been down this road as my usually tolerant wife finds it difficult to listen to the same tune being practiced at nauseum. I tried many of the prior mentioned suggestions to no avail.
Finally I purchased a solid body EM8. It not only solved the problem of muting me when unplugged, it also is now opening up the world of electrics to me when plugged in. No, it will never replace the sound of acoustics that I love, but it does present a new dimension of musical possibilities that I could not duplicate on an acoustic.
Not exactly thinking outside the box, but perhaps an avenue you may want to investigate.
Big Muddy EM8 solid body (Mike Dulak's final EM8 build)
Kentucky KM-950
Weber Gallatin A Mandola "D hole"
Rogue 100A (current campfire tool & emergency canoe paddle)
