Where Purchased: Mike's Banjo Mute website
I have been playing guitar for 30 years, but have recently taken an interest in learning how to play the 5-string banjo. I've been learning the three finger picking style ala Scruggs and am currently absolutely terrible at it. The banjo I recently acquired is a resonator and extremely loud, as they are designed to be of course, but this has brought about the need for a banjo mute to save my family's sanity. The banjo came with a mute that was ok, but not very effective at bringing down the volume enough to allow me to practice late at night (the only time I have available to practice). After searching this forum I stumbled upon Mike's Banjo Mute. This mute has proven to be very easy to use and most importantly, very effective at bringing down the volume to where I can practice without my family hating me. I can highly recommend it if you are in the market for a mute. Even someone like me, who has no clue what I am doing yet, can figure it out and get good use of it and that's says a lot about the quality.
