flute damper/silencer

[Anaïs]

Hi,
Again a question for you all.
I wondered if there exists some kind of damper/silencer (don't know how to call it in English) for the flute?
If the answer is yes, do you know where I can buy it?
Greetings.

I don't know of anything like that.
But what exactly is your problem? Is it your hearing or the other's?

The UNSW Acoustics website suggest putting a piece of modelling clay on the blow edge. That helps, I tried it with a small piece of card. But sometimes the high notes aren't damped that well.

Someone should invent a REAL flute mute... like a thermoviscosity enhancer or something.
