Hey Michelle, I cut my teeth on one of these back in high school. Our high school choral program had one. We took it on a tour of Europe my senior year and I had to tune it while everybody else was sight-seeing. But it's been at least 18 or 19 years since I've seen the thing (and probably about that long since they've used it), and I really don't remember much about the action. Seems like you do have to at least hinge the strings section back to get to the action. I know, I know. A lot of help I am. You just brought back some cool memories, and I had to share them, that's all. On a similar note, I recently got the opportunity to tune my first Baldwin Electropiano. Now, that was fun with the tuning pins on the back side of the cabinet.
