If you want to try tuning it before repairing the action, you could just pluck the strings of the non-functional keys. You aren't going for a concert tune, just an assessment of tunability. You'll still get a feel of the block and you haven't wasted any time on repairs which may be superfluous. -- Conrad Hoffsommer, RPT - Keyboard Technician Luther College, 700 College Dr., Decorah, Iowa 52101-1045 1-(563)-387-1204 // Fax 1-(563)-387-1076 You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be used against you.
