Tom S., <<...you should try a rubber temperament strip from Schaff. Because it is rubber, it compresses to fit any opening without displacing the string. It will mute strings that are closely spaced equally as well as those spaced farther apart. I've had it for two years and it hasn't shown any signs of wear yet.>> Was this the tan or the black strip? (I've tried both, with unsatisfactory results.) How well does yours mute? On the ones I received, plucking the muted string showed that it did not mute well at all. Also, the strip was too thick to easily fit between strings on most pianos. Felt strips did a much better job than what was sent to me. John M.
