Temperament Strips

[Kerry Kean]

Using an extra strip in the tenor can block out a lot of the
bleedthrough. If you're still having problems with it, it may
help to tune the unisons and re-strip it.

These two questions have been on my mind, and I would like to
know your opinions.

 

In regards to strip muting the treble section where the strings
are shorter.  So the hammers strike the strings, is it okay to
move the strip carefully down behind the dampers?  I am always
concerned about ruining the felt.  If I make the loops in my
strip as small as possible, would this practice be okay?  Then if
I made the loops too small, the temperament strip would actually
mute all three of the strings instead.  Any advice here would be
greatly appreciated.

 

The second question is this:

 

How do you all deal with strings "bleeding" through the mutes?
It has become an annoyance of mine lately.  Some a lot more
subtle than others, but still the same regardless.  I even get
some "bleeding" between strings that are not that far off at all.

 

Thanks in advance!
Matthew
