Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I was hopeful for this piece of equipment when I bought one, but was pretty much immediately disappointed, and I'm actually kicking myself not having seen how pointless it was before I bought it.
Functionally, yes, it will mute your banjo, for the minute or two it stays on without having to re-apply pressure to it. You basically have to forcefully wedge the thing onto the bridge (just look at how it's notched... a more ham-fisted approach I can't imagine), and even if you could get the thing to stick for more than a lick or two, there's no possible way to get it to stay without causing damage to the bridge. Metal vs. wood, 'n all.
There are far better options out there. The best was one I'd had years ago, and haven't seen its like since, but I left it with my family band's banjo for my little brother. It was a weighed bar, bullet shaped at both ends, with dual metal plates fluted out and slotted for banjo string spacing that pinched the bridge without too much pressure, but enough to keep it in place. I'd love to find another.
