HISTORY
Bech Magnetic Mutes was invented by Terry Bech - a professional violinist with the Radio Philharmonic Orchestra in The Netherlands.
As an orchestra player in the 1980’s Mr. Bech was unsatisfied with the sound quality and vibration noises of traditional mutes. Thus, he started developing his own.
In-depth research & patent
After in-depth research and extensive experimenting with the right type of rubber and magnets, Mr. Bech obtained the patent for Bech Magnetic Mutes. In practise, he demonstrated that a professional orchestra improves its overall sound quality while muted when a majority of string players use the Bech Magnetic Mutes.
Proven quality for over 40 years
For over fourty years, Mr. Bech manufactured and sold Bech Magnetic Mutes to wholesale companies all over the world. As a result, thousands of string players have been enjoying his quality product up to today. In 2023 he transferred his business to Certo Productions. This secures that the Bech Magnetic Mute will be available for future generations.
