I am very pleased with my Mike's Banjo Mute because now I can practice any time of day. Previously, I would not practice when my wife was sleeping, on the phone, or playing her mandolin. When she watched TV she would turn up the volume when I practiced. My wife is very happy with the mute. My banjo instructor recommended Mike's Banjo Mute saying that before buying the mute his wife often found his loud picking annoying. The mute is easily installed on the bridge, and its small size does not interfere with my right hand. The brass plate that rests on the strings does not create strange harmonics like rubber or plastic on some mutes. With the mute installed my banjo has a pleasant sound. I can practice both left and right hand techniques. For me there is only one negative. As a beginner/intermediate picker practicing a memorized song with the mute, I sometimes 'forget' parts of a song because I don't hear the normal banjo tones.
