Dear subscribers,

As a result of the duplex postings on Pianotech, I made an observation late
Sunday night while tuning two Steinway D's that has me puzzled.

I noticed stringing braid from the area of Ab3 to D#5 in the area where the
duplex scale exists.  From E5 to C8 the duplex scale continued without
stringing braid.  These pianos are a 1963 and a 1967.  Am I missing
something here?  Of what value is the duplex scale in the section where the
stringing braid exists?  This is factory installed.
