Ok, Bob, the Mute that I make is really easy to use. Take your banjo out of the case and lay it on a hard surface. Take the mute firmly between two hands, and raise it above your head. Try to aim for the bridge on the downstroke, as it is sort of the "nexus" of banjo evil...Most times, the mute only needs to be applied once, but for good, solid, American-made banjos, sometimes a second application is needed.

As for what it looks like, I'll try to send it, but it might come out gibberish...so here goes nothin'
