I've seen one DD. The model (about 180 cm) I inspected, at the 
Australasian Piano Tuners and Technician's Convention in July 2000, 
had the rear duplex lengths pretty well tuned relative to the 
speaking length. I didn't note the harmonic series chosen, but it 
featured small radius half round brass bars sitting on a metal 'skid 
plate'.
