Hi all,

Sad to hear of Dan Franklin's death.  I was thinking of him when I was =
tuning my Hamilton.  Having ridden out hurricane Isabel in a little =
cargo trailer, it was about 20 cents flat.  I did one pass to chip it up =
to pitch and then another to fine-tune it.  After I had chipped it and =
after I had at least part of my keyboard in tune, I tried playing it.  =
Yup, it sounded in tune (the part that I was playing), but it was =
extremely "noisy" and obnoxious.  When I finished tuning the rest of the =
piano, the noisy obnoxiousness went away.  I'm sure that vibrating all =
those out-of-tune strings in the higher register was much like vibrating =
out-of-tune duplex segments on a grand.  Very interesting.  It was =
enough to convince me that the duplex should either be tuned or muted.  =
Of course I realize others are advocates of detuned, unmuted duplex =
scales.

Just an observation in observance of Dan's passing...

Peace,
Sarah
