Charles, I use one every time I tune an upright.  They're great!  You =
can tune any string that you want to, if that's what you want to do, and =
you can do it with or without a mute strip. I, personally do use a mute =
strip, because I tune the whole piano at one time. So, you can use one =
if you want to mute out the left string you've just tuned to eliminate =
false beating noise. I suppose the only time I wouldn't use one is if =
the killer octave and above were free of false beats, but how often are =
you going to see that? I always go back and look for notes that can be =
cleaned up, anyway.=20
    The split wedge,,,,,,,,,,I have one, but never use it. Never seemed =
to work for me.=20
Anyway, that's my two cents.=20

  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,
