[pianotech] Early Duplex Scale

[Encore Pianos]

I tuned an old Mason & Hamlin AA today with Rosewood front duplex bars, that
are starting to disintegrate.

Oh that's interesting Jurgen, thanks. Let's settle for them being Rosewood
then!  Still nobody has a name for this piano part! Is there a name in
German? How would it translate in English if so?  Accordinmg to Allen
Wright, Steinway just called them "duplexes".  Other makes must call them
something, when they are ordering them in the factory!




I have a 1911 Rönisch

                grand that has a rosewood hardwood rear bearing strip,

                but it is continuous.
