Grin.... lets see now.. we were talking about duplexes and Grøtrian has just about as many singing non-singing string lenghts as any piano around... to the point of sounding sort of like one of those riveted cymbals. Now Bechstein on the other hand has the opposite extreme, most noteably in the front. So... they muted off all the non singing lengths ala Bechstein style. Actually,,,,, come to think of it.. it might work better the other way around.
