I have tuned two of these with RCT, one just a few weeks ago, and both were readable at A1 by Chameleon 2. I would be happy to e-mail the tuning record to anyone interested. Kent Swafford >> I have my own solution to these instruments, as you might expect. Back in the '80's I tuned them by ear with headphones on. The bass was always the hardest part to hear and the treble was always very unstable. Still, I welcomed the opportunity, met many famous musicians and made good money on them. I do have an 88 note program that makes this instrument sound very good, if you can just get over the idea that ET would be the only proper temperament. Same goes for the Yamaha 42" console that somebody had trouble with. Same goes for the Acrosonic and many other "poor" scale designs. Bill Bremmer RPT Madison, Wisconsin
