Factory muted duplex

[Don]

Hi Paul,

My understanding is that often this is braided off during voicing. I prefer
to use some rolled up towels. Then I can simply lift them clear after
tuning/voicing. I don't always find it necessary but it is a good tip to
know about when you have an octave in the top range that refuses to "tune".
