Why is that "silastic" silicon-looking stuff necessary? To stop = buzzing in the string segment between the front (left, in this picture) = horizontal termination and the center termination (where the string goes = down)? That segment is, what, half a dozen string diameters long: is = that really a problem? I read reports that strings were buzzing against the sides of those = narrow slots. That silicone thing is one way to prevent this. Another = would be to widen the slots a little and keep the strings to the center = with a groove of sorts. Or does it buzz when the speaking length lifts up above the forward = termination? (Or ditto for the rear duplex?) I doubt that happens. Perhaps if the hammer blow is _really_ powerful, = but even then...
