This is a wonderful and intuitively installed device to change the tonal characteristics of your banjos. Works on virtually all banjos with a round rod, which includes dual or single rod banjos, and also works well with dowel stick banjos. Fits inside out of the way and really mellows out the tone, and cuts volume. Nicely constructed of hardwood and leather, this is great addition to any banjo arsenal. | Banjo Ben
