That sounds like a very useful tool, I'll be curious to hear more about it.

I bought a couple of those from a booth at the ISGC years ago.

As someone mentioned a piano mute works, and probably what the wedges I bought are.

I need some kind of string ball end holder for my GFI. My "holder" now when I change strings is my wife.

The description sounds like a piano tuner's wedge mute, which is what I've used on my push-pulls for years. I remove the wire handle.
