Bob Davis did say that the duplex is tuned to the fifth so he strings the two end wires in the section and sets the duplex bar according to his ear. We plucked and the duplex scale was on the fifth where Dale had set it. </div> <div> </div> <div>Keith Roberts </div> <div> </div> <div><br/><br/> </div> <div class="gmail_quote">On Jan 3, 2008 5:45 AM, Paul T Williams <<a href="mailto:pwilliams4@unlnotes.unl.edu">pwilliams4@unlnotes.unl.edu</a>> wrote:<br/> <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="padding-left: 1ex; margin: 0px 0px 0px 0.8ex; border-left: #ccc 1px solid"><br/><font face="sans-serif" size="2">Hi David.</font> <br/><br/><font face="sans-serif" size="2">Happy New Year. </font><br/><br/><font face="sans-serif" size="2">Here are some measurements I got from Greg Hulme in KC.  </font> <br/><br/><font face="sans-serif" size="2">Style B  measured from duplex to rear line of bridge pin</font> <br/><font face="sans-serif" size="2">Note 40 = 98mm</font> <br/><font face="sans-serif" size="2">           51 = 46mm</font> <br/><font face="sans-serif" size="2">           52 = 85mm</font> <br/><font face="sans-serif" size="2">           68 = 37.5mm</font> <br/><font face="sans-serif" size="2">           69 = 46mm</font> <br/><font face="sans-serif" size="2">           88 = 25mm</font> <br/><br/><font face="sans-serif" size="2">Hope this helps!</font> <br/><br/><font face="sans-serif" size="2">Paul</font> <br/><br/><br/><br/><br/> <table width="100%"> <tbody> <tr valign="top"> <td width="40%"><font face="sans-serif" size="1"><b>"David Ilvedson" <<a href="mailto:ilvey@sbcglobal.net" target="_blank">ilvey@sbcglobal.net</a>></b> </font><br/><font face="sans-serif" size="1">Sent by: <a href="mailto:caut-bounces@ptg.org" target="_blank">caut-bounces@ptg.org</a></font> <p><font face="sans-serif" size="1">01/03/2008 01:03 AM</font> <table border="1"> <tbody> <tr valign="top"> <td bgcolor="#ffffff"> <div align="center"><font face="sans-serif" size="1">Please respond to<br/><a href="mailto:ilvey@sbcglobal.net" target="_blank">ilvey@sbcglobal.net</a>; Please respond to<br/>College and University Technicians <<a href="mailto:caut@ptg.org" target="_blank"> caut@ptg.org</a>></font></div> </td> </tr> </tbody> </table><br/> </p> </td> <td width="59%"> <table width="100%"> <tbody> <tr valign="top"> <td> <div align="right"><font face="sans-serif" size="1">To</font></div> </td> <td><font face="sans-serif" size="1"><a href="mailto:pianotech@ptg.org" target="_blank">pianotech@ptg.org</a>, <a href="mailto:caut@ptg.org" target="_blank">caut@ptg.org</a></font> </td> </tr> <tr valign="top"> <td> <div align="right"><font face="sans-serif" size="1">cc</font></div> </td> <td> </td> </tr> <tr valign="top"> <td> <div align="right"><font face="sans-serif" size="1">Subject</font></div> </td> <td><font face="sans-serif" size="1">[CAUT] duplex position</font></td> </tr> </tbody> </table><br/> <table> <tbody> <tr valign="top"> <td> </td> <td> </td> </tr> </tbody> </table><br/> </td> <td> <p> </p> </td> </tr> </tbody> </table> <div> <div> </div> <div class="Wj3C7c"><br/><br/><br/><font size="3">List,</font> <br/><font size="3"> </font> <br/><font size="3">Is there a clear cut way to position the duplex bars on a Steinway?   This is 100 year old B I'm restringing.   Top treble sections only.   I can position as I found it but is there a measurement from the bridge pins...? </font><br/><font size="3"> </font> <br/><font size="3">David Ilvedson, RPTPacifica, CA 94044</font> <br/></div> </div> </blockquote> </div><br/> </div> </body> </html>
