Received it in the mail promptly after ordering from Mike's website.
I am using it to tone down a very loud Deering Maple Blossom banjo with resonator. It certainly does that. It hushes it down in a big way. The tone is very quiet but pleasing. Ideal for practicing in close proximity to other people, but the tone is very different.
That said, I still think stuffing a rag behind the bridge lowers the volume enough that I don't wake the house up from my basement studio, and still retains the banjo tone, which I prefer to the mute.
However, if I was practicing upstairs and needed to really quiet down the banjo, I would use the mute.
All in all, a great product. Excellent quality and workmanship.
