To insert a temp strip in a birdcage, tip the action back and insert the strip below the damper heads.  Next, tune one side of the unison by removing  the strip and re-insert every other note.

It's an Ibach upright with the damper bar and wires in front of the hammers....making tuning somewhat of a nightmare....trying to get mutes in between strings.  And forget about a temperament strip.
