Dear Listers,

My name is Orlando Fiol and I am definitely new here.  I'm totally blind,
live in New York City and have been tuning my own piano and others for
about eight years now.  All this talk about duplex wedges has interested me
greatly.  However, dyue to my physical limitations, I can't seem to plluck
the correct strings to assertain the tuning of my duplex scale.  I have a
Steinway M, (1929) in case that helps.  Just on a fluke, I was wondering if
a kind soul living in NYC would be willing to show me briefly how to track
my duplex scale.  Of course, if coming over to my place would be too much
trouble, I imagine I could learn on a suitable piano and apply the
technique to my own.  after assertaining the tuning of my duplex, I'm not
sure if I will want to have it adjusted.  I'm hoping that such an
adjustment, however, might fix a chronic false string problem I'm having in
the trebble.  Many thanks.

Orlando Fiol
