Electric piano

[Don]

Hi Terry,

They have such short strings that they don't sound particularly well--they
are truely a compromise. The action is *very* heavy due to huge weights in
the damphers to prevent feed back from the amplifier(s). The tuning must
really be listend to over a PA system--as the coloration of the system
affects the tuning.
