If the pizz. passage in question is short, I'd go ahead and risk it. I don't really agree that the mutes will dampen the sound so much that the passage will be compromised, unless really high notes (short string lengths) will be involved. What is the register in the various string sections?

Hey all,Chuck Israels
I have a question about muted pizzicato in an orchestral string section. I'm curious how much the mutes actually dampen the pizz. sound, and how much impact they have on the actual timbre. Do any examples from the literature leap to mind?
