The violin mute has been in existence almost as long as the Violin itself has been. The earliest recorded use of the mute in a composition is in Lully's Armide, which is dated at 1686. The mute did not gain widespread use until the late classical and early Romantic period, roughly 1800.

How do you put a rubber mute on your violin?
A mute kind of looks like a smiley face with no smile, so where the "eyes" are will go on the D and A string (2 middle strings). There is usually 2 slits on the side of the mute, so you could just slide the mute on to the strings. Then once the mute is on the strings behind the bridge, you can just slide the mute on the hook over the bridge. This will prevent some of the vibration making the violin sound softer.
