I have everything set up to practice and play in my basement(because it’s WAYYY too HUMID on the porch lately) and I like to go practice in the evenings and late at night. The room I have fixed up is right under the family room and y’all know a banjo is NOT quiet. So I found this little gem last fall and it is sooo good. It makes my banjo pretty darn quiet. Just a warning though it’s so quiet it makes it sound more like playing a guitar real soft, but I don’t mind. Also it does not make thumb whacks any quieter so I may still get yelled at 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
