Gold Tone IUC Iucci Banjo Mute

IUC Iucci Banjo Mute

While Wayne was visiting noted banjo collector Jim Bolman, he came upon an antique banjo mute that was similar in concept to Gold Tone's Ultimate Banjo Mute.

Made by the Iucci banjo company in the 1930s, it had some features that Wayne thought would be perfect for a deluxe mute made for those that want the best.

Gold Tone's Iucci mute slides onto the bridge more easily, produces sweeter tone due to its heavy weight, which enhances sustain.

There is no better mute for quiet practice or expressive tone for ballads or soloing.

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!

Features:

• Provides a quiet, sustaining tone

• Easy to install and uninstall

• Fastens securely on the bridge
