Yamaha CP70

[Leslie Bartlett]

I tuned some "electric grand" by Yamaha which looked to be twenty years old
or some such, and it was a ghastly untuneable little thing. Inharmonicity
was so horrible it was virtually untuneable.  Is this just the grandchild of
same?
thanks

My experience with these nifty little electric pianos parallels yours
exactly Dave. SAT works for plain strings and make bass least bad by ear. I
didn't have an amp available when I did one - fortunately it was in a guy's
house and it was quiet.

At least you can pack this one up and get it to high ground when the water
comes! (Handy for New Orleans......)
