Howling, stuttering, and warbling – they're all different terms for the harsh repeating wuh, wuh, wuh sound that your cello can sometimes make. This occurs when the vibration of a particular string clashes with the vibrating body of the cello – beginners often think they’re doing something wrong when they hear this sound. Not true. All cellos have a certain “wolf tone” to them, and in higher-quality cellos the tone can be even louder (due to their strong resonance).

The only way to control a wolf tone is with a tone eliminator. This lighter button version of our Cello Wolf Tone Eliminator is easy to install – just thread the offending string through the Eliminator and tighten the button. Adjustable to reduce or eliminate a wolf tone to your specifications.
