Where Purchased: Online store
Last year, I decided that enough was enough. I was going to teach myself to play the banjo. So I bought an inexpensive banjo, a couple of books, and got started.
One week later, for the sake of my marriage, I bought a mute from Mike's online store.
I am a terrible banjo player, and a year's worth of practice has not brought me any closer to producing recognizable music. It has been a rough road. But because I got the mute, my wife does not have to listen to my stiff fingers at full volume.
When I bought it, I was not sure how much it would dampen the sound. The result exceeded my expectations. It is easy to attach, and reduces the volume of my poor scales to a reasonable level. The dog will even - occasionally - venture into the den to see what is going on while I try to figure out that blasted tablature.
Before the mute, I was totally on my own.
All seriousness aside, I have been very pleased with the product. It is easy to use, and very effective. You pick the superlative, and I'll agree to it.
Mike, my wife thanks you.
