Voicing was okay and someone had already tried weaving a narrow piece of felt into the duplex, which didn't do the job but any more dampening started to kill the tone. I put two clips on the strings and adjusted them so there was no more sizzle coming from the duplex but still a nice tone. The main problem I have with Pitchlock clips is remembering I have them in my regulating kit.
