You NEED to buy this mute
Like many artists, I find inspiration in the late hours of the day and evening, much to the chagrin of my wife and neighbors. Prior to the Artino PM-02, we cello players had only two options for quiet mutes - all rubber or all metal. Who would have surmised that combining the two would be the best of both worlds.
All metal (hotel mutes) are most effective but a hazard if you drop it on your cello! You also risk damaging the wood of your bridge from repeated use. All rubber are safe to use but not as quiet. The Artino PM-02 is has a metal core and silicon(?) coating, which is as like using a metal hotel mute with less risk of damage.
NOTE: works better with French bridge. Though mine is Belgian, it functions good, hence the 4 stars.

Good quality and effective mute
I've always worried when using my metal mute about it being knocked off the bridge and damaging the instrument. This is just as effective and with less risk - the metal one hasn't left my case since!

Great for the price, easy to use
Can mute surprisingly well.
I think the screws are for tightening/loosening the mute, but honestly, i don't see anything happening when i turn them. But it can be slipped on the bridge easily, and stays there firm.

Artino PM-02 Practice Mute Cello
The Artino PM-02 is a practical cello muffler that is designed for use during practice and training. Here are a few key features and benefits of this muffler:
Sound Suppression: the PM-02 provides significant suppression of the instrument's sound, making it ideal for quiet practice in rooms where volume reduction is required. It allows musicians to practice without worrying about disturbing neighbors or family members.
Natural Playing Feel: The silencer is designed to retain the natural feel of playing the cello. It provides enough resistance and response to keep the musician comfortable while practicing.
Ease of use: the PM-02 is easy to install on the bridge of the cello and requires no additional tools for installation. This makes it convenient and easy to use for musicians of all skill levels.
Portability: The silencer is easy to remove and install, making it convenient to carry and store. It doesn't take up much space and can be easily placed in an instrument bag or cello case.
High quality workmanship: the PM-02 is made of high quality materials to ensure its durability and reliability. It can withstand heavy use for a long time without losing quality.

Does what it says on the box!
I am impressed by how well this mute does its job! This thing is surprisingly heavy, which contributes to clamping the bridge and stopping most of the resonation.
I recently started playing cello again, and living in an apartment means that I really did not want to annoy the neighbours, and bother the wife and kids in the evening. This mute help with that a lot.

Works well
I've a couple of mutes, although I don't like having to use them! This one works well, and is the one I prefer to use when I have to.

Great mute
Great compromise: a stronger dampening than rubber practice mutes without the risk of damaging your cello when a metal practice mute falls off. The sound is a bit less warm/round than with a rubber one, but it's less loud.

Good muting action while keepimg acceptable sound quality
Be sure to fit it till the bridge or it won't sound good! (Loosen 2 screws if it does not fit properly — thanks Thomann for the tip!)

good choice
Its performance is rather surprising! It definitely silences the sound while playing, it reduces several frequencies and makes practice easier in places where loud instruments are not allowed. It is a bit heavy, which makes it kind of dangerous, in case it falls on the instrument per se, but it is very stable once it is fitted on the bridge. However, one of the screws has broken unexpectedly, but I managed to glue it back, and so far, there has been no problem.
