The Gaffer
Yes, I did it, I put hellish gaffer tape on my beautiful Schimmel piano strings. I don't know why that piano still sticks around, the abuse it gets from me.

The story
On my endless quest to mute piano keys to find alternatives to the always-sad dulcet tones of our felted friends I decided to take some gaffer to the strings of my much-sampled schimmel. Duct tape as I believe our American cousins call it.

Brilliant!
Simply breathtaking... so useful and useable! A million uses!
A very unique instrument, mostly useful for blending (at least for me)
I really love the unique character of the instrument, If I were to use it, I would most likely blend it in with a textural work or use it more like a hammered tonal percussion instrument rather than a traditional piano, excellent free instrument!
