Using an extra strip in the tenor can block out a lot of the bleedthrough. If you're still having problems with it, it may help to tune the unisons and re-strip it. Kerry _____ From: pianotech-bounces at ptg.org [mailto:pianotech-bounces at ptg.org] On Behalf Of Matthew Todd Sent: Wednesday, August 22, 2007 12:03 AM To: pianotech at ptg.org Subject: Temperament Strips These two questions have been on my mind, and I would like to know your opinions. In regards to strip muting the treble section where the strings are shorter. So the hammers strike the strings, is it okay to move the strip carefully down behind the dampers? I am always concerned about ruining the felt. If I make the loops in my strip as small as possible, would this practice be okay? Then if I made the loops too small, the temperament strip would actually mute all three of the strings instead. Any advice here would be greatly appreciated. The second question is this: How do you all deal with strings "bleeding" through the mutes? It has become an annoyance of mine lately. Some a lot more subtle than others, but still the same regardless. I even get some "bleeding" between strings that are not that far off at all. Thanks in advance!
