Where do I get one like the guy is using at the start of this video. Not interested in the gold tone one, I'm looking for something that deadens the overtones a bit.
banjo Uke Mute....

Anyone with info on that particular mute he's using?

I'm interested as well. That mute looks to be a lot more effective than the other alternatives.

I sent Paul Moore and email and also found him on facebook.
Maybe he'll respond. If he does I'll post his answer here

Get a synthetic sponge from any grocery/hardware store, something medium density.Use scissors to cut a section about 1.5" x 1.5" along the length. Push it under the skin but wedged over the support rod inside. Turn it different ways to get different effects. If your banjo uke has a closed back, you can cut a smaller piece to sit behind the bridge under the strings that attach to the tail piece.

Ever wonder where the expression came from?

Here's Paul's reply.
Paul Moore:
Chris, I bought that mute in 1977 , i think they no longer make them but it is very easy to make one .
i will do a u tube vid very soon promise!

I'll send him the tone enhancer link and see if he thinks it's the same thing.

Does a dirty one not work? How about a pair of socks...clean or dirty?

Hi there, I was looking into the world of banjo ukes and mutes only recently. This seems to be the one that gets all the love.
