<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Just to give a different opinion, I always enjoyed
working on the CP70 and the CP80 pianos and the were fun to play. They
have a very unique electronic sound quality (like a FenderRhodes piano on
steroids) and a grand action. The bass was a little hard to tune, but the
pianos held their tuning very well, even after being transported from place to
place. I used to tune one regularly for Tom Coster, the keyboard man for
Santana back in the 70's. I wouldn't mind having one now. Since they
are usually located in bars, nightclubs and Rock venues, I used to use
headphones for tuning so that I could hear over all the background noise.
I still have the service manuals if you need any technical
information.</FONT></DIV>

<P><FONT face=Arial size=2>I'm scheduled to tune a Yamaha CP70 in a week. I've
never seen one of these things. I'll have an hour and a half, and it's
supposed to be a "clean up" tuning. Can anyone give me any info on
these things?</FONT></P>
