If you own a banjo...

...you should have a banjo mute!

I've tried out a few banjo mutes throughout the years and have finally found one that actually works. It works without buzzing, distorting the sound, or falling off. It does what it should; make the banjo bearable to the rest of the family when you're practicing.

I just finished practicing some fast-paced songs with the mute on, while sitting near my wife. The cool thing is that she didn't ask me to play more quietly at all.

This banjo mute was built by one of my friends. He's sold a few of them, but I'm sure he could sell many more. All he needs to do is market them to the spouses of banjo players. Now where do they hang out; Spouses of Banjo Players Anonymous?
