Susan, Susan, Susan ... tsk, tsk, ... have you never multiple-folded a piece of paper and used it as a mute? Have you never taken a large pencil eraser and cut or filed it into a wedge? Have you never taken off a sock and jammed it between the strings? Now THERE's a pretty picture for the customer to walk in on! Well .... me neither, but I thought about those things when I forgot my tuning kit. Fortunately, I had a felt strip in the truck. Now I only buy felt socks.
