Where Purchased: Direct from the manufacturer
As a mostly clawhammer player, I've been using Mike's banjo mutes for at least ten years and have just purchased two more. By far my favorite mute. They hold well to the bridge and have sufficient weight to enable the tone to come through clearly with no buzz. The sound is different but has a beauty all of its own -- often an ethereal tone that combines bell like clarity with a roundness while also being much quieter than the un-muted version. At times I'll use the mute just to access the mood it produces and play with the sound. Highly recommended.
