Muting high treble

[Paul Chick (EarthLink)]

This is not necessary.  I've been using a piece of action cloth (sticker
cloth) cut at a taper, one end 1/2" wide, the other about 1/4" wide. place
it between the unisons above the dampers. Now press the sustain pedal,
insert a piece of tag board  between the dampers and the strings, slide the
felt strip down behind rhe dampers using a second piece of tag board, until
the strip mute is below the damper line.  There is a class at the Central
West Regional Seminar on pitch raising and tuning under an hour that
demonstrates this muting technique for aural and ETD tuners.
