<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hi, Try a split mute as I suggested. Taper the
end to 1/4" at the tip on a belt sander and if it is too thick , use the
belt sander to thin the sides ( the wide part is sometimes too thick and
blocks the hammers.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Also lift the dampers with the pedal as you
insert the mute. You only need to do this on the highest dampers.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV style="FONT: 10pt arial"><B>Subject:</B> rubber mutes</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>HI Everyone,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>I was going through some old posts about using rubber
mutes in the trebble. Does anyone here know if the rubber mutes sold
by Schaff and Pianotech are the same or do they differ in some way?
</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>I'm finding as a new piano tuner that my speed is
being eaten up by trying to mute the trebble. I've tried numerous great
suggestions, but don't seem to have the knack to get the mute thing
down. Especially on spinits and my wife's Kimball, it's hard to het
your hand in there to mute it off ie. the top of the right hand gets jammed
against the tuning pins trying to fit the mute it. Also, I find that
the ends of the mutes don't want to grap-seem real thin. Other than
this my speed and tuning acuracy seem to be improving. Any ideas on
the muting?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>I'm not sure if I did, but I hope everyone knows that
I appreciate and value yoru expert advice and ideas as I learn this new
exciting trade. Thanks so much again.</FONT></DIV>

coming loose. any suggestions as to what glue i should use? i've
