Hi Sherry: I've had poor results with so-called muting strips, for me they seem to soft and mushy and often too thick to get in between strings. For many years I have used action cloth which is firm, durable and just the right thickness. Schaff shows it on page 92 as part # 317G, medium green .118 thick. Pianotek has similar material #FGA-4G on page A-41. Try it, you'll like it! Mike Kurta
