Sound


It makes the banjo sound great. I noticed an instant increase in volume and tone.

Setup


Easy as pie. It is interesting how you can experiment by turning it to get different tones.

Appearance


n/a unless you have a clear head--even if you do it still wouldn't look that bad since it is made out of a thin sheet of brass. I'm not too crazy about sticking the adhesive to the inside of my resonator, but I guess there is no other way to do it.

Overall Comments


I heard that the old timers used to put a pie plate inside the resonator of their banjo to perk it up a bit. When I saw the Banjomate Tone enhancer I thought it would have the same effect, so I figured that I would try one out. You can't go wrong with the price. It gives the banjo a lot of bang for not a lot of buck. Excellent add-on to a banjo of any quality for that extra zing!

Sound


I have an old parts banjo. It sounds pretty good. It has a lot of highs naturally but lacks lows. I installed the BANJOMATE Tone Enhancer and it really brought out the mids, and lows.

Its completely hidden so no one will know that its in there. I've had mine in for a few days now, and people are loving the sound of my banjo.

Its fairly simple in design, but the results are great. It should last longer than the banjo!

The people at Little Mountain Music are top notch. Always a pleasure doing business with Doug Campbell, and his crew.

Components


It does seem to me that once the word is out on these, they would be built out of stiffer material in order to maintain that perfect tone at all times, but since it dosen't get touched, everything should be fine

I think that this is a good product. I hope that people don't decide aginst buying one because they think their banjo couldn't benifit. It is what it is ... a tone Enhancer
