I don’t like about tuning Wurtilizers [sic] is that the upper part of the plate
in the treble has a raised area that’s too close to the strings and makes it
almost impossible to get a strip of muting felt to stay put.<span
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>(I mute all the way to the top.<span
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>Above the treble break, I insert the
strip just above the dampers, then press the damper pedal, insert a piece of
sheet metal between the dampers and the strings, to protect the damper felts,
then shove the muting strip down far enough to clear the hammers, and pull out
the piece of sheet metal, which has the top edge bent over to act as a handle.<span
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>I depress the damper pedal of course
when removing the strip.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>This
method isn’t useful if you tune unisons as you go.)<span style="mso-spacerun:
