Born in Barcelona in 2010 to create mutes with the sound quality, refinement and beauty that string instruments and players deserve.
The idea went through years of prototypes and testing before becoming available worldwide in 2016. Since then, each model has kept evolving through digital design, acoustic research and countless hours of playing, with listening and touch guiding every final decision.
Every WMute model is developed through musical experience, acoustic testing and precise metalwork. In production, each mute passes through many hands: musicians test feel and response, jewellers refine surfaces and finishes, and makers adjust fit and assembly, until every piece is ready to reach a player. The project is led by violinist Oriol Algueró.
WMutes are used by soloists, chamber musicians, orchestral players, teachers and students around the world. We hold that trust with care.
