Only use a strip mute for tuning a birdcage piano if you always use a strip mute and can't imagine tuning without it, doing unisons as you go. If you can contemplate tuning unisons as you go, it's much easier just to use the Papps mute. It's not at all difficult, after just a litle practice, to insert it between the damper wires, and to drag it across the strings using the tip like a plectrum, to determine which are the strings you wish to insert it between.
