Well buying a banjo online is certainly a leap of faith - but dealing with Emory at Capo's settled my mind a bit. Great to work with and the RK36 I purchased was exactly as advertised. They did a good job on installing some railroad spikes for me. When the banjo arrived it was packed really good -outside carton - bubble wrap, and more bubble wrap inside the case around the banjo. They followed up with a tracking number and kept me up to date. Overall very happy with this purchase and LOVE my new RK!! Thanks Emory & Capo's.

Where Purchased: Gift
Received this as a gift on Father's Day - I think it was my families way of giving themselves a gift. LOL - a gift that keeps on giving. Well needless to say they will not have to endure the echoing sounds of FMB ever again. Very easy to use - pops right on and the difference in sound is night and day as seen on some other YouTube demos- it really is a great accessory - a must if you live with other people! It's only my 3 rd day with it and I will be using this item on a weekly basis. I give it very high ratings -At first glance I was going to knock it down a notch based on more of an esthetic one .. the threaded pins are a nylon vs. metal. But after checking the website I found the rational behind the use of nylon:Nylon screws are preferred over any other. Its slight flexing allows the mute to rest to the backside of the bridge to prevent annoying string buzz. Unlike plastic, it will last a lifetime. Unlike metal, it creates a more pleasing, softer sound and offers an enhanced sustain.
The rest of the mute is very nice Brass top - Aluminum hooks to catch the bridge.
I am very happy with this item - My Family Is happier!!
