Arm rest: Arm rest

Where Purchased: Banjolit website

Overall Comments

Just purchased a great arm rest from Richard at Banjolit  https://banjolit.com

A great piece of kit and so comfortable and easy to fit on my Gretsch Banjo. Looks great.

Really fast postage from Europe too :).

I also bought their Picking Trainer too which is terrific for practising my rolls when I don't have my banjo with me.

Banjo mutes: Mike's Banjo Mute

Submitted by KarlW on 5/28/2015

Where Purchased: Mikes website

Overall Comments

 

 

Just received Mike's great Mute "Downunder" in Canberra Australia!


Brilliant product and very easy to use and arrived promptly from the USA and very reasonable postage cost.

Great sound and really mutes the banjo but still sounds terrific so that I can keep practicing with or without picks.  Now have a happy wife as I am only a beginner and she and the neighbourhood don't have to continue to listen to me practising! Would definitely recommend this mute and the great customer service from Mike.

February 2017 - P.S. Just bought my 2nd mute from Mike to save keep swapping it across Banjos :)

Works really well just like the previous one and our two beagles now come into the music room whilst I am practising! These mutes are lot better than the Deering ones (sorry guys) and really work and the banjo's stay in tune :). Really fast postage from the states too. Thanks Mike :)

Cheers Karl in Canberra Australia
