strange FAC (SAT) numbers, Question?

[Farrell]

Did you try and pluck the string? That might work. Also, a quick thing to
try with these little pianos is to just use a canned tuning, but check it
out first by tuning a few octaves. See how they sound. Maybe just a little
DOB adjustment, and off you go with a great tuning for the little beastie!
