Friends, I hope someone knows something about this thing. I was asked to look at an electric keyboard at a church today. It is called a Hohner Clavinet model E7, and it's built into a nice hefty travel case. When I called just now to tell the church musician I thought it sounded awful and should be discarded, he told me that if you take the back off, it has tunable strings inside. So I have a couple questions. Has anyone encountered such an animal? Does it really have strings in there? It just looks like an electric piano to me. Can I use an ordinary tuning hammer or do I need some special gizmo? He said some of the notes stick. Any idea what might cause that? Any and all help will be appreciated. Thanks! Regards, Clyde Hollinger
