In addition to Wim's excellent advice, Dave used to travel with several
different electronic keyboards as well. Some of these did not like
what seemed to me to be already pretty "tight" octaves.
Times have changed, but that might bear checking out. Also, these
things do tend to get thumpy-sounding bass strings, which can be
misleading.<br>
<br>
Best of luck; and, if you can, do stay and see/hear the show - Dave is a
good performer.<br>
<br>
Best regards.<br>

I've never run into one yet, but I haven't. I am told this has
<br>
two-string unisons in the plain wire, and an 'acoustic' action. <br>
<br>
Is there anything in particular I should look out for with these <br>
critters, either tuning or otherwise, or do most of the acoustic piano

principles apply? <br>
<br>
All suggestions welcomed. <br>

If you can get a set of ear phones, you can hear the tuning much easier.
<br>
Other wise, make sure the amplifier is set so that you can adjust the
volume. <br>
The few times I have tuned one, it is amazing how clear you can hear the
<br>
beats. <br>
