I have tuned hundreds.  (for shows).  It takes two people to move the two
pieces of "luggage" and they won't fit into the back of a station wagon. 

	Do they hold their tune?  YES.  A band was scheduled to play in a night
club I tuned for.  However their truck fell off of rt 50 across the
Sierras in Calif. They reeled in the road cases. To make a long story
short, the CP 70 from that accident I tuned was not only playable but not
out of tune more than ordinary.
