Electropiano (was Re: [CAUT] Yamaha CP-80..yup!)

May I interject please?

I have been a 'contract University tuner' in the past. I was not hired to
tune the electropianos. The tuner that did, used a fold up wire stand and a
mirror at the back of the piano to see the pin space/hammer placement
orientation. I hope this helps. He was not a 'happy camper'.

Thank You,
