The beats are easier to hear than on a piano and make more sense. You do NOT want to use the overpull that an ETD would give you, unless you REALLY want a lot of practice installing new strings. The strings are generally WAY closer to break strength than a piano. If it has a transposing keyboard BE ABSOLUTELY SURE THAT YOU ARE ON THE RIGHT PIN!!!!! Pins are many times arranged to mimic a keyboard arrangement. If the keyboard is shifted, you may have to be on what looks like A# to tune A. DAMHIK!!!!!!!
