With these, the damper wedges can be squeezed or ironed to properly fit = the strings. They can be used cold, but it is a good idea to heat them up = over a flame, on a stovetop, or using hot water. (Be sure to give them a = wipe so they are dry and clean before use.) Like any other good specialty tool they may not seem "cheap" at first glance, but they will pay for = themselves on the first piano and give a lifetime of service. Available from any good supply house. I personally carry them in two = styles - normal sized jaws (35 mm) and extra wide (50 mm).
