Hi All

Any ideas.

One thing you can do is take a couple pieces of foam and stuff it in the f-holes.

I wonder if a banjo mute would work. I’ll try to test that out when I get home.

Surely your playing is not that bad Lee.

The UK is terrible for stuff as I had to get my banjo from Ireland, I can’t find a Snark banjo adaptor or a used Eastman mando or a Lakota strap and the list goes on… few… windge over

Muting a mandolin? :astonished: I can barely hear mine, I wish it was louder.

Learning to play softly can be great for relaxation, dexterity, speed, longevity and accuracy…

Well, I tried the banjo mute. Mine wouldn’t fit on my mandolin bridge. Sorry I couldn’t be of more help.
