I'm a beginner and have found that at times I would try and play softly as to not bother people in the house. When I started reading reviews on banjo mutes they were mixed, with some people saying a piece of tissue worked better. Well, I am glad that I stumbled upon Mike's Mute because this thing is great!
Not Only does this device quiet the banjo, it allows me to pluck the strings as normal, work on my tone, and hear my mistakes. I was a little concerned that practicing with a mute and then playing without one would affect my playing, but not so. I actually think this mute will help me work on technique as I can pick at a normal level instead of trying to pick too softly. The quietness of the banjo is allowing me to hear some mistakes I didn't realize I was making, such as hitting the head of the banjo with my thumb pick or excessive pick noise.
Thanks Mike!
