style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; COLOR: navy; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">I purchased two
mirrors at the “dollar store” that are intended for hanging in a child’s
school locker. They are unbreakable, safe, and have a variety of uses. I use
one of them in a small wooden holder to enable watching let-off in the high
treble on a grand. I use them to inspect pinblock to flange fit, for looking
under plates with a flashlight, behind actions, etc. To use for strip muting,
simply push down the damper pedal to lift the dampers clear, (adjust pedal if
needed) and push strip down and under the few dampers above the treble break
that are in the way. <o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></P>
