Where Purchased: Direct from Mike Stitt
After a long dry spell, I picked up my banjo again and started to practice using my collection of Murphy Henry's Tapes, but the banjo speaks right out and I tried many things to mute it including foam rubber under the strings near the bridge. Not too effective, but did cut it down a bit. I purchased the the Double Bullet head push onto the bridge mute, it kept falling off my bridge - also IMHO it made my banjo sound somewhat like a Dobro!. I saw Mike's mute and being an engineer, I appreciated the design as well as the quality of the implementation of the mute, especially the clever and secure mounting design. The mute performs as desired to really mute down the volume without affecting the pitch. I you live in close quarters or just want to watch TV while practicing, Mike's Mute is a must have.
For me its a 10! Thanks Mike.... Abe - Concord, NC -- RB-250
