[pianotech] Fender Rhodes

[Ken & Pat Gerler]

Matthew,
A good "ear" and just move the tuning spring on the tines back and forth to 
adjust the tuning.  Sometimes they are a little hard to move and you have to 
use a needle nose pliers to move them. BUT, like tuning pins, very little 
movement will cause a large change in pitch.
