Newbie Advice - Eavestaff Mini

[PianoP]

Hi,
I noticed a forum post on Eavestaff piano's a few months back and it was mentioned that a certain type was less valuable than another:

I was about to purchase this for £300, would you say that it would be worth it and would it be easy to tune?

Any help would be great!

If in full working order and tunes to pitch no problem if not leave alone.

Not risking it, thanks!

Sometimes on these pianos, the tuning pins are in-line with the back end of the keys - since its a 'drop-action' - and will require a shorter ended tuning lever, unless tuned from the rear, where a back panel will need to be removed & tuning pins located under keyboard?. Which ever it is, just mention that its a mini Eavestaff so the tuner will be prepared. I tuned one recently (new customer - didnt tell me the make of piano), and a normal medium star lever wouldn't fit in the gap.... no prob, I nipped home and brought the rest of my levers.
