---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment David Love, It seems i may have missed the correspondence initiating the discussion on the rear duplexes, but I am glad that I found the email in time to drop into the conversation because I believe that there is something missing from the interplay. And that something is a bit of respect for CFT. When the duplex scale was originally incorporated in the Steinway design in 1876 at the Philadephia Convention it was accredited to be one of the most significant new features of scale design by Steinway. It should be noted that since that time, S & S has remained a benchmark piano with a consistent and reliable tone. dozens of manufacturers have utilized CFT's patent to develop their own versions of this characteristic. I have spent many years and many hours tuning and teaching duplex tuning technology, and I consider it beyond the bounds of responsible technical rationale to attempt to redesign the plate of a Steinway Piano and its duplex scale instead of trying to tune the duplexes as Steinway intended. Anyone who would go to such lengths has obviously got a severe case of DUPLEXOPHOBIA. It is cureable, provided your priority is the tone of the piano.
