  Hi John, 
  The rubber split mute works on the same idea as the Papp mute.
  Seldom shakes out, but when it does, washing the dust off seems to solve the problem.
  I do however keep the split mute and a wide bass mute tethered together as my aching back tends to complain a lot when I have to get down under the key bed and look for a dislodged mute. <O:((

    Am I the only one, having problems with the product supplied over the last few years?
    My original, white plastic one, lasted years.
    I have had 3 of the 'blue' ones. 

    They are too soft, the hinge pins drop out, they are too flexible, and jump out of the strings as you tune, and they wear out too fast. 

    The wearing out, might have something to do with older pianos, and the strings being contaminated ( mild surface corrosion) and being more abrasive. Mind you, the older one lasted longer, same pianos.
    I am thinking, of adapting my old white one, to take new tips that screw on.
