The Gold Tone Iucci mute is a replica of the classic 1924 mute developed by Mr. Iucci. These mutes were popular at the time for tenor banjo but could easily be adapted for 5-string. This mute easily slides on the bridge similar to the Gold Tone “Ultimate Muteâ€, but sounds better and has more weight, which equals more sustain. Now you can enjoy the quiet tone of your banjo for unlimited practice!
