With three hitch pins anchoring two unisons, assuming no tied loops, how, pray tell, could the "duplex" lengths be duplicated by creative hitch pin placement? I'd really like to hear how that is possible. Failing that, what constitutes "appropriate" placement? I assume you're referring to backscale length here rather than alignment. > > If it sounds good as is, great, otherwise I wouldn't leave it as it is unless > you are sure that the change in backlength did not contribute to the problem. What problem? I didn't see anything in the original post indicating that any of this was a problem other than it was considered to be a sloppy job, sans details, and it wasn't like it was originally done. Is the implied "problem" a performance, or a political issue? > > I am not keen on returning the duplex bar without getting rid of the > vertical pin, since the pin will now be inclined to creep up. Enough to fail to adequately terminate the string at the aliquot? How much deflection angle is necessary behind an aliquot? Precious little, I would think.
