	To adjust the ''upper mute'', take a 2.7mm [[wikipedia:Hex_key\|hex key]] and loosen the ''upper mute screw''. Move the ''upper mute'' so that it's ~1mm above the string. This measurement is very approximate and depends on the maximum swing of the string, if the ''upper mute'' is too close to the string it may accidentally mute the string at full resonance. If the ''upper mute'' is too far away the ''lower mute'' may not be able to clamp the string hard enough against the ''upper mute'', and if the string bends too much an audible change in pitch may occur.
