Duplex Scaling edit

 
An image intended to illustrate the concept of duplex scaling in pianos by showing the duplex string lengths in the treble range of a grand piano

Though a bit grainy, the image is very eye-catching and deserves a "FP" praise

  • Nominate and support. - Vircabutar 08:06, 31 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose I like the display but on the negative side due to the way the light is hitting it along with the focus point being towards the top left the right side comes off as blurry and blown out. Thygard - Talk - Contribs - Email ---- 08:19, 31 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support For the record, this was a previously nominated image which failed. TomStar81 10:36, 31 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose I've been playing piano for a long time, and I confess I can't make out from this image (or accompanying text - looked at both piano and aliquot stringing what "duplex stringing" is exactly. This image is blurry, badly framed (I thought I was looking at the bass part until reading the text!), and doesn't seem to illustrate anything particularly well. Overall, a bit of a frustrating FPC - I really don't get what concept it's trying to illustrate at all. Why is there not an article at duplex scaling? Stevage 12:24, 31 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose per Stevage - not an especially good-quality image and not helping me (as a pianist of 15 years' experience) understand the concept of duplex scaling - but if someone does happen to know what that means, could they please write an article about it? This sounds like it could be ripe for a good diagram :-) --Yummifruitbat 22:05, 31 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I note there is some text on "duplex scaling" at Innovations in the piano. Strangely enough. Stevage 09:06, 1 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose per above. I have been a pianist for 5 years, but this does not help me in any way explain 'duplex scaling'. --Thelb4 07:58, 1 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak oppose per the pers above. And it's not the quality it could be. --Tewy 07:56, 4 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
