This is an under-string banjo mute for a 5/8" bridge set up. I've not yet tested this print and would appreciate feedback if you try it.

It needs to be printed in a flexible material (maybe a semiflex) and should be placed under the strings on the head of the instrument. If the mute pushes the strings out of the notches on the bridge, it is either a height problem or infill problem; you can fix either of these in your slicer.

The design is such that it should mute the strings by applying a slight pressure while preventing the head from moving freely. This results in a plunkier sound which I've found (from my mickey-moused prototype) to be desirable for certain songs (a frailed version of Moon River (I haven't tabbed it out yet, but it'll be on banjohangout once I'm done), for example, sounds rather nice with the mute)
