Hi Fella's

does anyone else use a Banjo mute ?

I had no idea exactly how loud a banjo is lol and for the sake of an expensive divorce I've been looking at the IUCCI Banjo Mute £24 as a cheaper option

are these mutes any good ?

Costs a little more but works very well. It's very quick to fit and remove so if you want to keep the good lady happy its ideal. It's also quick to remove to wind up the kids in my house !!!!

You can always go down the wooden peg clipped to each side of the bridge option, which works just as well, but not so attractive! ebay.co.uk/itm/GOLDTONE-IUCCI-...656121fde

	Alan Tate says: 5/30/2013 12:30:11 PM I think it maybe more of "I will have no choice but to use one" lol Just got to decide which one works best and indeed if there is any reason not to use one ?
	alanjg1 says: 5/30/2013 1:04:53 PM What Graeme said! I've tried a few different types and I much prefer the Mike's Mute. I bought mine direct from Mike. banjohangout.org/classified/3113 I'd rather not use one but you'll probably need to mute when it's the only way to get your playing/practice time in. For £25-£30 it's a handy accessory. Joe's a lucky lad, Helen's very 'banjo friendly'.
