This works great... I was really worried how this would sound until I heard a banjo using one on YouTube. I had previously been using a paper towel bunched up under the strings, and that didn't allow any sustain and made it hard to learn how to play the banjo. This mute on the other hand, allows a nice sustain, and mutes the sound nicely. The low sounds are nice and warm, and the higher notes are more of a nice plink and it has a beautiful sustain. This allows me to play without disturbing teh grandkids when they sleep or when others may be home who are not as fond of the banjo.
