Little Mountain Wood Banjo Armrest - Fits All Bracket Configurations
The Gold Tone Little Mountain Armrest is designed to fit banjos with any hook spacing.
Fits both 11 and 12 inch rim banjos
Recently redesigned for the Bela Fleck Signature banjo.
It's unique mounting system rigidly holds the top plate free of the banjo tension hoop which helps tone which is why Bela Fleck uses one.
These Little Mountain wood banjo armrests pictured on this page were licensed by Gold Tone and are a little bit different in look from the original Little Mountain Banjomate Thinline wood banjo armrests we also sell. Those can be seen at this page link.
Little Mountain Banjomate Thinline Wood Banjo Armrests
The Gold Tone licensed version has same unique mounting system that fits all bracket configurations as the Banjo Mate Thinline armrests but look slightly different. You may like this design or color better. They both work great and have the same advantages, take your pick.
This armrest also fits Deering Goodtime and Deering Artisan banjos. This is the only armrest I know of that does other than the uncomfortable metal band armrests those banjos come with when they are new The reason for that is this design configuration for the brackets will fit on the FLAT hooks that come on Goodtime banjos. Most armrests are made for banjos that have round head tightening bracket hooks.

This well made adjustable banjo armrest fits any banjo no matter how many head brackets! It is specially designed to custom fit old time open back banjos of all sizes, works great on bluegrass banjos with resonator's and fits any banjo with hook style mounted heads. It also fits and makes a comfortable wood banjo armrest for Deering Goodtime banjos.
This is perfect for old time open back banjos that have different distances between the brackets. Also perfect for bluegrass or resonator banjos that are unique and don't have the standard 24 bracket spacing. Of course they work great on normal spacing but this is the only one that I know of that adjusts to fit any bracket spacing. Ross Nickerson
Unique mounting system utilizes dovetail track with plated mounting pins.
Nickel plated pins (standard) are designed to attach to Banjo's hooks, regardless of spacing.

- 6 7/8" length, 25/32" top surface
- Money back guarantee.
Bela Fleck uses the BanjoMate Armrest.
He chooses it for comfort and tone. The way it attaches does not touch or block the head and there is less tension on the head brackets than on traditional armrests which can affect the tone.

Little Mountain Music Thinline Armrest
1 of 1 people found the following review helpfulI ordered the thinline armrest for my Deering 6 string Goodtime banjo, and it is wonderful. The curly maple, satin finish, is a nice match to the Deering maple finish. It installs easily, (very intuitive) and adjusts for a perfect fit. I would buy it again.
