Maybe it'll be made up in the big tip the customer will give me??

I had occasion to speak with Ed McMurrow on this duplex subject =
yesterday. Although he outlines the process and explanations fairly well =
in his book, The Educated Piano, it was interesting to learn about some =
of his experiences with the front duplex. Even with his expertise, I've =
seen him use the glue method to change a harmonic more to his liking =
when all else fails.He tells me that Steinway hardening of the capo bar =
can vary a great deal, making some efforts to shape a satisfactory =
profile difficult. I would expect that he and Ron Overs would heartily =
disagree about the use of hardening on the capo, as Ed prefers the =
concept of a livelier pivot termination which he feels can only be =
produced by a very sharp "u" applied to surfaced that has not been =
hardened.=20
