This is the third banjo mute that I have tried over many years. The first mute was a piece of carved ebony that you 'wedged' onto the bridge. It did a pretty nice job until it fell off periodically. Also, it didn't fit all bridges. The next mute was the brass one that slipped onto your bridge under the strings. More than once, as I installed it, the bridge would scoot a little one way or the other. Eventually, the felt lining wore off. Both of these mutes quieted the banjo nicely without impacting the sound. But Mike's mute is amazing. It stays on much better than either of the others, I don't expect anything to wear out, and it should fit any bridge no matter how thick or how high. But it amazing cuts the sound down so it can hardly be heard across the room. And that's what was most important to my wife!! This is a great mute.
