---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment Here's my set of grand tuning mutes. One pair is glued together at =20 the wide end, offset a bit at the narrow end, making a great split =20 mute. These are the only grand mutes I've used for several years. For verticals I have two wire mutes tethered together (prevents =20 losing them behind the action), made from Pianotek wire handled =20 mutes, except the bent wire has a Schaff split rubber mute removed =20 from its flat handle and installed on the wire (works great if you =20 put in the bends). The loop in the bent wire seems to let the wire =20 flex a bit over time without breaking.
