I would seriously not have believed that this thing could improve the sound of my already awesome banjos, but it does! I was sent two Banjo Bolsters to review; one for my “main” banjo and one for my cello banjo, and I am loving them. In the past week, I’ve used them in a rockin’ jam, a couple of solo videos, and a solo performance. They performed beautifully in all of those settings. I’ve always stuffed my banjos, using all sorts of things from foam to rolled socks to stick-on gel. This beats them all. The Banjo Bolster somehow manages to let every note ring individually instead of stepping on the heels of the note that came before. My banjo sound seems subtly more concentrated, like a stock left on a low simmer for a few hours. (I’m a chef, so please forgive the cooking analogy.) Glad to have them in my banjos, where I’m guessing they’ll be living for many years! ---Hilarie Burhans
