I was hesitant to buy this. I had read reviews on banjo blogs and it had mixed reviews. But I decided to try as it is not that expensive.I am glad I purchased it. It works. It does what it is intended for. It will cut the volume and is still easy to tune.

I love my banjo mute so easy.I don't have to worry about stuffing.Socks or hand towels, anything behind it to mute it out.This works great and I love the tone.That's muted, but I still hear a pure tone.Thank you

I have been starting to play banjo at home. We have an open floor plan and the acoustics is optimal for a concert. However, the sound of my Banjo with Tone Ring and Resonator is quite loud.The sound of the banjo projects throughout the house. Getting complaints from the wife and daughter has lead to me resorting to desperate measures. 1) I bought an open back banjo 2) I bought one of these mutes.I read the reviews, and based upon what I read, it was what my house needed. This is a brass U-shaped frame with nylon bristles. Because it is OPEN on one side, it has to be placed with the curved end upwards. The bristles will hold it to some degree.If you notice a light or loose fit, then clamp down on it more. I noticed that my Brass Mute was still pretty loose for a fit, so I placed it under a carpet/rug and pressed down upon the hinge which gave a more snug fit.The volume is reduced by 1/3. Overall, I am happy to have purchased this. On my open back banjo, I place a sock or knee brace inside the pot against the rod, and it mutes the banjo a bit more. The combination of the two allow me to use my picks as opposed to strumming with just my fingers.Very good item, but Mike's Banjo Mute works better since the assembly screws onto the strings and bridge.

Yes it lower the sound but ..... gives a nice smoother play.I use it on my Deering Goodtime with resonator.Definitely a must have for any banjo with or without resonator.Your family and friends might like it better than your banjo 🤣🤣🤣

The good: Very easy to install and remove, dampens the sound effectively, and imparts a very cool tenor-guitar-style sound to my tenor banjo.The bad: I have a thin custom bridge, and this doesn't clamp on securely enough to really do anything unless I push it all the way down to the head, where the bridge is wider. That's fine and all, but then it doesn't reach far enough across the bridge to dampen the fourth string.By the way, if I play a certain single note, this thing causes the octave to sound as well. It sounds fine still, but I thought it was strange enough to be worth a mention.Edit: There seems to be some variation between these. I bought a second after losing the first one, and it clips on more tightly and mutes more effectively.

My guess is the banjo is 50% as loud as without the mute. To install it properly, it will be necessary to go slack on the strings then tune them back up once you've got the mute on. Highly recommended

In einer Mietwohnung hat man mit einem open back banjo gleich viele freunde... Daher ist der Dämpfer die Rettung.Dämpft sehr gut, der Klang ist dann natürlich nicht mehr so toll. Man muss ihn ein bisschen zurecht biegen, damit er passt, aber dann erfüllt er bestens seinen Job!

Works great on Gold Tone Cripple Creek series banjos. Easy to slide it in and out the bridge. It does dampen the sound but preserves the sound quality.

Cette sourdine pour banjo est très efficace sachant que le banjo est un instrument puissant. Je la recommande pour jouer à volonté sans gêner ses voisins ou ses proches.
