What width and length do you guys usually cut your fur string silencers? I make mine about 1/4" x 6". Is that about the normal size?

I make them more of a ball instead of a roll. Prolly 3 inches by 1/8.

1/4" is usually how I cut then but the length is determined on the shape you want, from round to sausage shaped.

1/4" wood by about 4" long. I tuck them in just under the Flemish splice, wind them around, and tuck back in. Jawge

Seems like it does'nt take much to quell any string humm noise.

...plus the more you have is you detract from the cast.

Try just strips of soft leather 1/4" x 4". Wrap it around just like fur on leather.

I think in most cases string silencers are more cosmetic than a necessity...but they do look cool.
