Push in the mute & lift the dampers  & slide  er down

Dale,   


You're talking about what you use to put the strip between the strings  here, 
right? The angled aluminum piece I'm describing is used to cover and  protect 
the dampers, so that I can then push the already inserted strip down  
underneath the dampers with the straightedge (or whatever - long enough that  it 
pushes the strip all down at once in the damper area, then pushing the rest  of it 
down higher up).


I've tried the Papp mute and found it less convenient. I like having a  
temperament strip firmly muting the strings, and find I can concentrate more  on 
tuning and less on moving a mute around - especially since in that area  where 
there's so little room above the dampers to operate in. Different  strokes for 
different folks...


Cheers,


Allen
