NordyMute-4-Map-19
$40.00 USD
UNIQUE DESIGN
BEAUTIFULLY HAND CRAFTED
SEVERAL WOOD CHOICES AVAILABLE
MORE FLEXIBLE THAN OTHER MUTES
These versatile gadgets are a simple combination of a sponge mute with a wood covering, which work to provide the player with dark, staccato articulation, forwarded by the vehicle of a nostalgic vintage subtlety. The essence of the NordyMuteâs effect is akin to upright-like inhibition of resonance, a kind of execution of sustainâits body subject to an almost unnaturally fast decay. But whatâs especially significant about the NordyMute is the uniquely versatile quality it lends to the playerâs particular style. A lot of mutes will stunt playability, creating an awkward relationship in player to instrument intonation and articulation. In contrast, the NordyMute is designed for easy adjustment, giving the player modulating intonation and articulation instead of being stuck with one mode of mutabilityâof MUTE-ation. This modulating quality comes from the muteâs foam body pinching the strings, whereas most mutes push against them. To put it simply, pinch over push is what leaves the NordyMuteâs intonation without compromise.
At the end of the day, the NordyMute is a simple design that compacts Nordstrand Audioâs essence: a kind of microcosmic display defining how they will never subject themselves to something that doesn't exceed their expectations. And besides all the technical jargon and effectual description, the NordyMute is also just too damn cute. No player who uses a mute will be disappointed.
This product is brought to you by Nordstrandâs disdain for not being able to control the future. You see, the quality of the NordyMute is something that Carey Nordstrand has been working on for quite a while, and what he found during his many experiments is that most mutes try much too hard to determine the playerâs intonation and articulation. They want to speak for you, determine the story told in the millisecond of time between string plucked and vibration amplified. They want to mutate how youâd like your voice to sound, and therefore mutate your future. What they say is this: âX!â Itâs fixed, constant, and almost rude. However, Carey was able to manipulate the mutations deposited from the legacies of the Elder Mutes, and what he was able to grow and nourish to adulthood was what we have come to know as the NordyMute.This specimen of mutation says this: âââ ââ ââ!â It suggests a voidâa dark, staccato quality for which the player can adjust and take control of their own voice, intonation, and articulation. In essence, it lets you take control of the time between pluck and amplification. It lets you control the future. God Bless you, Nordy, the Mute.
Bass mute with a foam body and wood cover.
Multiple string spacings available.
If you played bass do you self favor and get one of these that bass adapters for your guitar? Man the tone is out of this world, get that lowdown string bass sound.đž
Would appreciate if added some sort of information where to measure the string spacing.
Perfect mute, much better any mute Iâve ever used
Maybe you can get a sponge to work, but this allows adjustments so it mutes some, but still allows the bass to sound good. I install it it against the bridge, then tilt it away toward the bottom. Probably at a 45 degree angle. Pops on and off in seconds.
I love the idea of the NordyMute: a mute that lets me play all notes without muting on my part. But on my bass - an NS Design CR5 Radius - it mutes too much. I.e., the strings are muted to a solid thump and thatâs more than I want. Iâm pretty sure I could modify the mute to do a little less muting, but so far, have not tried this yet.
