Yes, those are the termination bars. > I've never seen anything that explains what they do or how they do it. What they do is make noise.

There are two duplex lengths. The idea as I understand it is to not have the front duplex tuned to the speaking length, so they wouldn't make noise. They're easy enough to quiet with a restring, with the addition of a bass half round that shortens the duplex. Ron N -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
