Hi Tom, Thanks for giving the product # for the mutes. I'd like to give them a try as I often have trouble with rubber mutes on uprights.

A telescoping magnet can retrieve them by the handles. On Players where a dropped mute can be a crisis , I thread a temperment strip through the loops on the end of the wire handles on both mutes As for mute placement, it does take some experience-practice and for me the mutes # MR-1R available from pianotek are my favorites for those tight places Tom Driscoll ----- Original Message ----- From: Robert Finley To: pianotech at ptg.org Sent: Sunday, April 09, 2006 10:28 AM Subject: Problem with Rubber Mutes Falling in Upright Piano I have had problems with rubber wedge mutes falling down into an upright piano. In some places it is difficult to find the best position to place the mutes, especially in the higher treble because the strings are so short and there is so little room. When the mute falls down it sometimes dislodges the hammer butt springs and I have to re-position them on the hammer butts with a damper regulating tool. What would you recommend I do to stop this happening? Thank you very much. Robert Finley -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
