The String Muter is a custom, foam-based wrapping block that mutes the strings from the base of the guitar neck. It allows you to keep your lead guitar tone clean and precise by quickly and efficiently muting any open strings. It is useful for any playing technique or style and is especially handy when using 2HT, two-handed tapping, where the right hand is playing on the fretboard and can’t mute open strings effectively.
· For 6-String electric guitars with standard nut size or 7+ string guitar with extended neck.
· Highly efficient density & flexibility
· Fast and quiet string damping.
· Hand-crafted and checked.
· FAR better than any commercial product I’ve ever tried.
· Can be moved to higher frets as well for the utmost clean sound.
· Recommended with The Complete Guitar Transcriptions book.
· Note: since item is hand crafted, some minor discrepancies from image may occur.
How to use the String Muter?
1. Open the strips from the top of the String Muter.
2. Place the String Muter’s body on the first two frets of the guitar.
3. Wrap the strips around the neck and tighten them back to the body on the front.
4. Pluck all strings. They should dampen quickly and quietly and stop resonating.
5. If some strings keep vibrating, slightly adjust the String Muter’s position, tighten or loosen the strips until all open strings are muted.

Somewhere in this Universe, Somebody Hits Drum is guitarist YUVAL RON’s newest album, released in Oct 2019 via own label Wrong Notes Music.
The crew, featuring MARCO MINNEMANN (drummer for The Aristocrats, Jordan Rudess, Tony Levin, Steven Wilson and Joe Satriani to name a few), is taking off on a mission, to explore the vast musical universe, hence the album’s title and inspiration.
The album, which was over three years in the making, features six beautiful and profound compositions placing a strong emphasis on big, orchestral, film music-like arrangements and production. On top of those, the players give some virtuosic and passionate performances, soloing over the tunes while keeping their original intent. It leaves the listener fascinated throughout the extensive pieces, traveling through space with tunes like “Gravitational Lensing”, “The Discovery of Phoebe” and “I Believe in Astronauts”.
The album's outstanding production got Yuval to endorsements with leading instrument and audio makers such as Fractal Audio, RME, iZotope and ADAM.

This has been for the wishlist far too long. I'm more than glad to finally have bought this contender of melodic prog album of the year (no, not mellow prog, melodic prog in the best meaning of the words ;-) ). A cornucopia of good things prog, past and present! Carsten Pieper
