I use the other end of the Papp's mute, to hold the jack back on an upright, when replacing a butt. It lets you get at the head of the screw easier.

  Hello List and Wayne who was resourceful enough to use his Papps wedge as a pair of tweezers. Right on, I've frequently had to resort to that so we're on the same wavelength. In fact it's when the Papps wedge itself falls into the action I resort to using my spare one for that same purpose. You get these "shootist" pianos that shoot the Papps out at you...
  Q. What to do with the broken Papps wedges?
  A. Two things spring to mind:
  1. Wait until you have two broken Papps wedges where there are two complementary halves which are OK and make up one useful one
  2. Use them in the greenhouse as a mini dibber pricking out for seedlings.... (I have one in my greenhouse!)
  Any other suggestions?

    Hello all,
    Got in the shop early this morning and read most of the posting from Thursday to present. I left the shop for my first tuning customer. While tuning the piano I drop a rubber mute into the action between the hammers and dampers. Having remember all of the posting regarding Papps mute I thought you may interested that I use my, as tweezers to retrieved my rubber mutes when I drop them into the action.
