I believe you are refering to the Front duplex. Origionally the one and only duplex as it was patented by Steinway as such, but later on the word duplex has become to be associated with any so called "tuned" non speaking lenght. This section you refer to is now called the front duplex scale. > > > and (more importantly) > > How do you NEATLY cut the understring felt (bellymen felt) to match it? My > current attempts are functional, but they aren't pretty! You dont really have too. There are large round felt pieces made for this purpose. You see them all the time. Just insert one under each unison. If you like cutting your own felt you can get punching cutters from Schaff I would suppose. > > > Thanks for any suggestions > > Gordon Large, RPT > Maine -- Richard Brekne RPT, N.P.T.F.
