Banjomate Tone enhancer standard submitted 12/1/2007 Submitter revellfa Where Purchased Janet Davis Music Company Year Purchased 2007 Price Paid $20 historic exchange rates / currency converter Sound It makes the banjo sound great. I noticed an instant increase in volume and tone. Sound Rating 10 Setup Easy as pie. It is interesting how you can experiment by turning it to get different tones. Setup Rating 10 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. Appearance Rating 10 Reliability I can't see how anything could go wrong with it. Reliability Rating 10 Customer Service JDM is always great. Customer Service 10 Components just two little pieces to stick together--no problems. Components Rating 10 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! Overall Rating 10
