Yamaha electric grand

[Farrell]

Hi Mark. Please do post your post-servicing observations. I tuned one of
these a couple years ago. Strange little critter. Seems to me they should be
great for a church where they have the wild climatic swings and mike the
darn things anyway. The one I tuned did not have an amp. I still was OK to
tune, although I'm sure it would have been nice to crank it up a bit. They
really are cool. Let us know.
