	K 2571: The Making of a Steinway Grand"
		The Steinways' masterstroke was to combine the two ideas in a new design, which also included heavier hammers to excite the heavier strings, a subtly improved action to permit control of the heavier hammers, and a repositioning of the bridge from the rear of the soundboard toward the middle.
		To compensate, the height of the keys in a new Steinway rises, gradually and imperceptibly, from the ends to the middle: the middle keys on a model D are one thirty-second of an inch higher than the keys at either end.
		Steinway's solution was the Teflon bushing, a small cylinder of hard white plastic that was virtually impermeable to moisture--too impermeable, as it turned out, for when extreme humidity changed the dimensions of the wooden parts, elongating the holes into which the bushings were set, the Teflon, unlike cloth, did not expand to fill the holes.

		Duplex or aliquot scaling of a piano permits the “non-speaking” portion (from the back bridge pin to the hitch pin on the plate) of the string to vibrate in sympathy with the speaking portion of the string (the portion struck by the hammer).
		Theodore Steinway first used the duplex scale in 1872 to impart more color to the fundamental tone by the addition of harmonic partial tones.
		Steinway uses aliquot bars where each unison is preset within the register (sections of the treble portion of the piano which are divided by the structural members of the harp).

		There is another place one might find the serial number of a Duo-Art Steinway, and that is under the keybed, often fairly close to their case code stamp, usually the treble end.
		The reason for stamping a Steinway with a serial number somewhere on the bottom, was because they were all hand-made, and a bit different, from one to another.
		Once Aeolian mounted the lyre brace, the chances of that fitting another Steinway was slim and none, because the brace often was mounted on the stack in early forward-facing stacks, and on a special block placed in such a way that it would clear the stack in late models.
