As a violinist, my initial instinct was that there is little difference between muted and non-muted pizzicato. After seeing several replies to the contrary, I pulled out the old fiddle and did a real world test. Knowing enough not to trust the sound right under my ear, I asked my wife (a violist) to listen and assess how much difference she heard between muted and non-muted pizz.
What? You trusted a violist?? Don't you know we can't hear any notes above 880 Hz? Can I quote you next time I get razzed for playing viola??!
