Many instruments use a mute. In the string section, mutes are used by violins, violas, and cellos. The mutes serve to make the notes more lyrical rather than softer; however, "hotel-room" mutes are available to reduce the instrument's loudness. Mutes in brass instruments are used in the bell area and change the tone to, say, buzzing. Woodwind mutes are rather rare and in the case of the Flute almost unheard of. Percussion instruments often require no special mute as the hand can be used to the same effect. The soft pedal of the piano has a muting result.
