My banjo mute (made by Mike Stidd) arrived today. This is the first banjo mute I own.
My first impressions was how well this thing was made. It will probably outlast me.
Once fitted, my banjo (and Ome Juniper) became slightly louder than my solid body electric guitars when unplugged! I did expect some muting but this is way more than I hoped for.
Then the surprise! Probably because of the muting, a lot of the flaws in my picking became apparent. I find this to be an even better use of this mute (than the muting itself) because it will help me clean up my picking.
I am very impressed with this little piece of brass. And because it is little, it is totally unobtrusive and my picking hand does come into contact with it at all. I'm a happy customer. Thanks Mike!
