Where Purchased: From Mike’s Banjo Mute website
Just put it on today, to try it out, didn't need to play quietly or anything. I might never take it off now! First, really easy to put on. It's compact. It's simplicity itself. It doesn't look bad either. Looks pretty good as a matter of fact. As for the sound, definitely lowers the volume significantly; just the perfect amount, i would think. I will be able to play the banjo with Mike's Banjo Mute on and not have to worry about anybody else hearing me. But i will be able to hear myself just fine. Finally, i love the sound it creates! It's very intriguing. If i really knew what a Dobson tone ring sounded like, which i don't, i would say it sounds like a beautiful Dobson tone ring, or some other sort of famous bell-like tone ring. It also kind of sounds like a dobro, a bit, to me. I just love the sound. And i love how it reduces the volume, the perfect amount. It's cool. I highly recommend one.
