This is a multi-part message in MIME format. ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment Hi Kevin, If you have your mute popping out on you, try washing it using just soap = and water. This will remove the light dust and patina that builds up on = the rubber and allow the mute to grab the string more like it was when = new. This tip came to me from Bill Swackhamer Joe Goss imatunr@srvinet.com www.mothergoosetools.com ----- Original Message -----=20 From: Kevin E. Ramsey=20 To: pianotech@ptg.org=20 Sent: Saturday, March 30, 2002 9:41 AM Subject: Re: Piano tuner haters The one that comes most to my mind when I think along these lines = is the little Aeolian upright I had to tune about three weeks ago. The = plate was about 3mm behind the strings in the top of the treble section. = There is no way in heck to get a muting strip to stay on those strings. = Try it, and the first semi-hard blow pops 'em out. Not enough clearance = for a rubber mute either. Luckily, I had my Paps mute right there, but = without it, it's like "What? You don't want me to tune it?" It's about that time that I came up with my infamous quote about = "There's a reason you don't see these guys hanging around anywhere = anymore." Kevin E.
