S&S "Duplex" and Bluthner "Aliquot"

[Michael Gamble]

Hello Listers
Now that I have brought my S&S up to within a semi-tone of A=440 the
Duplexing is becoming evident. It shows the duplex of each string in the
middle section to be approx its 3rd. harmonic - or M12 above its
fundamental.
In Bluthner the Aliquot is set at the second harmonic - or a M8 above in
this same section (at par on the top end). True the S&S duplex gets there by
default whereas the Bluthner aliquot has to be tuned (the fourth string).
This would seem to give S&S a cutting edge in high harmonics.
