Default practice mute and silent practice

Hi,

I would like to start up a thread on how to practice without rattling your neighbours teeth. I read on the internet various options for rubber practice mutes etc, but was wondering what everybody here uses.

I will start myself, if i practice with the bow later at nigth (say after 9 pm) i won't use my regular upright, but switch to electric upright instead. However, this is inconvenient, since my regular upright speaks much faster with the bow. For palying pizzicato, i just put a pillow or two under my endpin and play very soft.

cheers,

Jasper
