1) What does the notation "con sordino" mean in a music score ?
2) What string usually holds a torte mute in US (community) orchestras ?
3) What string holds the torte mute in FM's videos (Sul Ponticello) ?

She is happier and has demonstrated the "good ear". Most student violins give too much treble which is mainly what a tourte mute reduces.
This taming of the sound also encourages better intonation.
Then too, the under-the-chin sound is more pleasant for the player.
Not bad for a little piece of rubber

Tell ya wat Mad. Because you are an esteemed member of this forum I will let you see a classified photo. The photo shows tourte mutes cut to various shapes to achieve different pleasing tone effects particularly with an instrument of the sub VSO variety but not excluded from use with better instruments.
Experiment at will but don't cut your fingers. You can secure any little rubber thingey to the bridge with Elmers Paper Glue. (removable).
Keep all this secret.
