Professional Banjo Mute by Joel Hooks
Added 2023-03-10 14:00:02 +0000 UTCThis banjo mute, based on 19th-century designs, can fit on just about any banjo. Note only for muting, it can also function like a violin sound post (thanks to Blaine Chappell for making that connection in my brain). According to it's maker, Joel Hooks, when placed directly under the legs of the bridge it can help increase finger/hand strength.
Mr. Hooks hasn't decided to release this product publicly, yet, so if you're interested in trying one out I'd suggest contacting him directly via his website:
