Continuing this thread... I checked a Steinway D at one school and the rear duplex was tuned to the speaking length fundamental for the last few notes. At another school the rear duplex ranged from a minor 2nd to a major second for those same last few notes. I tried tuning them and managed to pull the major second one down to a 1/4 tone sharp after tuning the speaking length. It wouldn't stay down and I'm wondering about stability for the speaking length now. I'm guessing this one is going to need some moving to tune a little closer. Observations? Andrew Anderson
