              With respect, if the masking tape or felt was meant to be
there, the manufacturer would install some thing similar from the get go.
In my book it is a temporary fix at best.
Muting the forward duplex, greatly reduces the projection, the groove in
the forward bar, reduces sustain and power.
If the hammer is too hard, you will have a very strong fundamental, and
weak sustain on the partials.
Determine which problem you are dealing with, then fix it if the customer
want's the problem fixed.
By all means give them a choice, but it should be the customers decision.
Supported with a well informed opinion.
