Page 91, punchings.
I have seen both the felt, and thick cardboard used.
Thick cardboard, should be fine for your purposes.
Probably your tuner that helps you, would give you some, as they are very cheap.

  Hi John,
  I think I'm going to give that a try.  Does Schaff sell these?

    Another way, is to put a front rail punching on all the A's.
    I have run across, a few pianos, where the vision impaired person left them in. That is just my assumption, that is why they were there.

      Perhaps you could use 8 short lengths of tubing 
      that will slip over the tuning pins. The first thing you could do is
      mark the location of all the A's with a piece of tubing. Then you
      wouldn't have to go all the way to one of the breaks to count back to
      your position if you get lost.

      Marshall,
      There is a better way, that is time tested. I use it for chipping up a newly strung piano, before the action is ready. Put front rail punchings on all of the "A's". You can still get your tuning hammer on the pin, unlike the tubing idea.<G> This is also a good thing for Square Grands when the note lettering is gone/erased/covered in crud.<G> This is a technique used by the olde time "blind" tuners.
