A lot of guys write and say.I hear these are a bear to tune. And will they stay in tune?
They are not hard to tune.Just different. A well adjusted PP will stay in tune as good or better than many of the top of the line all pulls.
A couple of players that I respect had this to say about their work horses.

so I'm sitting here at 3:30 am because of jet lag checking all the pulls on my "crummy old emmons" S-10 push/pull with a strobe tuner. Now, even after 4 weeks of touring australia and japan, having it flown in the hold of the plane with the rest of the luggage then thrown in the back of countless taxi's, and then playing the scariest sweat box clubs you've ever seen, all the raises and lowers except for the LKL lever are still spot on. I think I tuned it twice the whole time. next week it gets flown to london,spain,holland and germany. too bad these things aren't road worthy.

Don I hear ya! My D-10 push pull has been to Jamaica, Key West, Las Vegas, New Orleans and recently on a Carnival Cruise ship for a week, NEVER have to tune the pedals, usually pretty close in tune right out of the case.. one of these days I'm gonna change the strings

Amen to that! I have an almost identical S10 Fat Back.A lot of guys write and say.I hear these are a bear to tune. And will they stay in tune?

I also have a newer Carter and GFI. They all stay in tune, and play great. The Emmons sound can't be beat.
