Trying to understand my new piano's front/rear duplexes. It's a feature I haven't seen before: extra unmuted segments past capo and bridge, tuned to harmonics, vibrating sympathetically.
Why change the harmonics at those spots? (G5 not A5) Why misaligned at F#5/G5 (but not F#6)?

A rare instance where Twitter failed to answer the question!
I have a theory for G5 vs A5: G5 in equal temperament tuning has almost no error vs. just temperament. Can't explain the misalignments, though.

Unfortunately no! I am that stereotype of pianist who knows next to nothing about how they work!

The pianoteq modeling piano lets you adjust duplex which is cool to see how it sounds. Duplex is that subtle yet magic metallic sound that makes a piano sound so good.

My guess would be overtone series vs. undertone series. But I'm not sure of the exact answer

I feel odd tagging you because we don’t even know each other but maybe you know this? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
