No, sorry Ric, I wasn't offended, or trying to be argumentative. Just not
in good composition mode today, I suppose. What I mean is that I've read
some pretty well thought out and accurately specified declaratives about
front duplexes that do work just that way in actual practice, by my
personal experience. The difference between some writings and others is
that some others don't accurately reflect what is actually seen and heard
in pianos. Among the writers who have, with their own three hands,
physically installed different types of front duplexes in an attempt to
improve the poor performance of the "usual" tuned configuration, have
similar observations. So what constitutes proof? A published book, or
patent? I can see where speculation unsupported by logic, physics, and
actual prototypes would be suspect, but I thought you said you preferred
untuned duplexes. Why is that? 

Beautiful Autumn day in my neighborhood.
