Muting high treble

[Richard Moody]

Here is my recomendation.
    Mute all the trichords from where they begin up to #88.
Tune the temperament.    Tune down from there through the bass.  Next
tune the single string of the muted trichords up to 88.   Then pull
the temp strip from the lowest tenor note and tune the unisons.  The
first time I tried this I needed a lot less "over pull"  in the
treble.   -=ric

| 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.
