Electric piano

[Marcel Carey]

I used to to tunings at a school in Sherbrooke that had 20 of these beasts.
I had a tuning tip welded to a replacement extension with a less than 45
degree angle so the tuning lever would come back a little  to the front. You
are lucky yours was a monocord. The school had a few that had 3 strings from
the tenor up. I had to use action felt to mute since the tension was so low.
As a matter of fact, tuning them was not so bad with ETD. The problem was
(is) their actions. Talk about a weird one... to regulate (or just to make
them work). Parts kept breaking. Just replacing a center-pin would greatly
affect my mood for a day or two... I now refuse to touch them. I feel much
better turning away from them then working on them. Since I have enough good
pianos to work on...

So now you know...
