Probably the main selling feature used by manufacturers and sales staff = to sell the digital piano is that "it never needs tuning". Boy, that = irks me! The pitch of those instruments wasn't necessarily 440 when = they came out of the factory and the pitch will drift with the aging of = the R/C components of the master clock. I service electronic music = equipment in addition to pianos and very few electronic instruments I = see are standing at 440 when I see them. If you're tuning a piano to be = played with any electronic instrument - CHECK IT. I play serveral digital and analog electronic instruments in my band(s) = and they make plenty of great sounds - none of which replecate the = original well, they just imitate the original.

It is = 14 years old and finding the parts means quizzing my friends on the MITA = list to see if any of them has one in their inventory - the factory = can't/won't help. My 1953 Baldwin M grand sounds great and parts are = readily and easily obtained. Manufacturers are starting to dispose of all parts not used on = instruments younger than 10 years.
