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 Mute”, but sounds better and has more weight, which equals more sustain. Now you can enjoy the quiet tone of your banjo for unlimited practice!
