What a load. Take a piano with a good duplex and play it with and without the duplex muted and the difference is very noticeable. How can one say that it is a marketing plan? Lost energy ... we even see energy transferring into the plate and almost all other components. Ed Tomlinson << IMHO the importance of the duplex scale is mostly in the minds of the marketing department. Let's not forget the aesthetics of nickel plated parts up against a newly painted plates! Any energy which gets beyond the bridge or the capo is energy lost. The duplex scale merely makes a sales feature out of a design flaw. Go to bed now Jim. It's early AM in Florida. Dale Fox >>
