PADDING-TOP: 5px"><FONT face=Arial size=2>The three mutes on the=
left are the #MF-2M - the top one has been shortened for use in=
the bass (and sanded for a finer entry point). I also use it and=
the two longer ones on the left at the struts (I use the two=
longer ones together to go between the strut and string - I've=
been thinking of just gluing them together to have one nice=
thick one). The two on the left are #MF-2L (cut in half=
length-wise) and I use them for all plain wires except the notes=
adjacent to struts (sometimes on the treble strut they work fine=
because the space is small between the strut and the string). I=
find these smaller mutes great for the plain wires because you=
can remove and insert them more quickly than the bigger=
mutes.</FONT></DIV>
