Grommet mute, pic 1

Marshall,
The wire mute handle is probably too short.
Use a piece of coat hanger wire, about 8" long to start.
When it's done it should be just over 6".
Make the handle loop like a "p," not like a lollipop, so that when the wire rests on the hammer rail. the loop is down below the hammer heads and out of the way.
Ed
