When I hear this = cacophony, all I want to do is reach for the angle grinder. Ron O. I tried it and you are right. Some of the longer duplex sections are = ringing noticeably. The piano hasn't been tuned yet (I only got it on = Sunday) so it's too early to say more. To be honest, I fail to understand the purpose of this front duplex in = Steinway's - no string segment is equeal to the other becasue of the = angled bearing bar so they can't sound in tune with anything. Maybe it's = this kind of eerie ringing they were after, back then? ;-)=20 There's another interesting thing: the back duplex doesn't have the = usual separate "tuned" bearing bars, but some continuous curved bearing = bars (part of the plate), pretty much like the front duplex, and not = muted with felt. What was the idea behind this design? I've also seen it in Boesendorfer pianos.
