Me, musing out loud ...
A banjo mute slides under the strings to clamp onto the bridge from the side. This probably wouldn't work well for a conventional adjustable bridge although I am not sure on that point. But it does suggest that one could have a fixed bridge made which could accomodate a banjo-style mute more securely. Might be worth a try. Hmmm. I have a mandolin with a fixed Murphy-style bridge. Maybe I can work on the idea a bit.
