I have been getting mine from Pianotek - page D-7 #MF-2M & #MF-2L. Below =
is a picture of the mutes I use on a grand piano for tuning (oops - and =
my key whacker).



The three mutes on the left are the #MF-2M - the top one has been =
shortened for use in the bass (and sanded for a finer entry point). I =
also use it and the two longer ones on the left at the struts (I use the =
two longer ones together to go between the strut and string - I've been =
thinking of just gluing them together to have one nice thick one). The =
two on the left are #MF-2L (cut in half length-wise) and I use them for =
all plain wires except the notes adjacent to struts (sometimes on the =
treble strut they work fine because the space is small between the strut =
and the string). I find these smaller mutes great for the plain wires =
because you can remove and insert them more quickly than the bigger =
mutes.

I also use the #MF-2M (lower left) uncut for wound strings on all =
vertical pianos - and in the tenor on a tall upright where there is room =
to use it.

Sometimes these felt mutes get a bit floppy - I've been thinking of =
juicing them with a hammer-hardener solution. Haven't tried it yet =
though, but thinkin'.......
