  • these are far better muters than those available in Europe! Where do you get them from?

  • nice breakdown

  • Some good tips.....thanks

  • does it make sense? its the surface tension mostly with your style of tuning

    im definately going to try shaping my mutes

    great idea, and great break down!

  • start by tuning outside in because of the tension of the strings actually may relax the strings, so start a little sharp until you get close to the center octaves

    left to right will just put more tension on the left side of the piano, which leads to the drop to a flat tune as you reach the higher octaves

  • A Paps mute (or several) all but eliminates the mute from popping out like the rubber ones. They are also stiffer and I find they dont deflect on the tip making positioning a little easier. I learned with them and prefer them for uprights but to each his own.

  • Very careful and focused lesson. I am a tuner and trying to learn all the time. I have never shaped mutes like you do; and I will certainly try - it makes good sense. Thanks.
