 I usually find that when I'm doing a pitch raise, I can't use a strip, at least
not in the tenor (haven't tried in the bass), because the outside strings bleed
through enough that I can't hear the beats clearly. So I juggle wedges in the
tenor, and usually the strip does a good enough job of muting in the treble. Is
there some tip or technique that I don't know about in using a strip mute in the
tenor/bass?

It just occurred to me, you probably are using a SAT, whereas I do pitch raises
aurally. Still, I would appreciate any tips.

Thanks
