New Harmony Wolf note Suppressor

Description

The New Harmony Wolf note Suppressor is available for violin/viola, cello or Double Bass in a number of different weights.

Wolf notes are a problem for almost all cellos, many basses, and a few violins and violas. However, the severity of a wolf note varies with each instrument. The wolf note of some cellos is minor if not undetectable, while others seem almost uncontrollable.

The New Harmony Wolf note Suppressor (eliminator) has several advantages. The first is that it comes in several different weights. The multiple weights allow the selection of the lightest weight necessary to eliminate the wolf note. A second advantage is that the design eliminates the need for a rubber liner, thumb screw, and a lock nut found on other wolf note suppressors that mount on a string.

New Harmony Wolf note Suppressor Installation:

Installation is simple. The suppressor is pressed onto the string starting at one end of the slot. The suppressor can then be removed and replaced on the string until a position that best suppresses the wolf note. The wolf note suppressor stays in place, but is easy to readjust if the wolf moves because of humidity changes, etc. In addition to their ease of use, possibly the most important advantage is that the New Harmony wolf note suppressors have minimal or no noticeable effect on the sound of the entire instrument, possibly because there is a direct contact between the string and the brass of the suppressor.
