Does anyone use the Papps spring mute (which I see in the Pianotek
catalog)?  What exactly does it do? Mute the outside strings while you
tune the center? And what about the wooden mutes with a split wedge? How
are they useful?

I'd love to improve my efficiency in the upper treble, and I'm open to
various techniques, including strip muting, not strip muting, and using
various kinds of mutes. Any opinions would be appreciated.

Thanks,
