Female dog

[Marcel Carey]

I find them quite horrible to tune also. The bridge notching is not properly
done and the scale seems to be experimental at the best. I was so glad they
went out of business in 1986. The thing is since this was a piano made in
Québec, most schools were forced to buy them for a while. When new, I had to
use a 3 feet tuning lever for the pins were so tight.
