I find them quite horrible to tune also. The bridge notching is not properly done and the scale seems to be experimental at the best. I was so glad they went out of business in 1986. The thing is since this was a piano made in Québec, most schools were forced to buy them for a while. When new, I had to use a 3 feet tuning lever for the pins were so tight.
