I agree wholeheartedly with you, Les. But if anyone does intend to tune one don't bother with rubber mutes or a strip mute. The Papp's mute was invented for just that purpose (I learned that through this list). It slips between the hammer shanks and does an adequate job. >Birdcages are for the birds, NOT piano tuners. > >Les Smith
