Banjo mutes: Mike's Banjo Mute

Submitted by Joebwan on 5/23/2014

Where Purchased: direct online

Overall Comments

I'm partial to precise machined metal parts and the mute was impressive even at first sight. The dampening affect on the volume was greater than I expected. I can play in the den with the door closed and the wife can sleep undisturbed in a nearby room.

The good:

  • Well made
  • Clamps onto the bridge very securely (it won't accidently pop off)
  • Works great! Volume reduction impressed me.

The bad:

  • Well, this isn't actually bad per se, but the mute sticks up above the bridge by a little bit and if I moved my hand very close the bridge it might brush against the mute. So far, not an issue at all for me.

Overall Rating: 10
