[CAUT] back duplex

[Avery Todd]

Hi Don,

Welcome to the list. I'd suggest going to the caut archives and reading
the posts there. The address is: https://www.moypiano.com/ptg/caut.php/
and clicking on the November link. Hope this helps.

BTW, to find that, I had to do a Piano Page website search. Isn't there
a link on the CAUT website to get to the archives or did I somehow just
overlook it? Thanks.
