Tuneoff

[Duplexdan@AOL.COM]

Gentlemen,

The tuneoff challenge should always be fair, so I am offering a consideration 
that may make it fairer than the Orlando tuneoff in which Virgil's piano was 
so far ahead in the voting it seemed like Jim was riding a horse with three 
legs. 

The reason, we suspect, that Virgil's piano received more than 70 % of the 
votes in all categories may be attributeable to one difference between the 
Kawaii's , which incidentally were almost identical in age style, serial 
number , etc.and were carefully selected for that reason.

And that difference was, strange as it might seem, that the Duplex Scale in 
the wayoutfront winner was in PERFECT TUNE. It was the only one of the four 
in perfect tune. And it is consistent with Duplexology that the runner up 
piano, tuned by JC had the Duplex Scale partially in tune. In the other two 
pianos, the Duplex Scale was considerably off in all sections of the scale.

Let's be fair. If the pianos in the tuneoff are going to be equal, and all 
have duplex scales, they should all be tuned correctly.

Looking forward to the Challenge,
