We have some available in the Paris Music school, where a real maintenance
curse is followed (and way necessary).

I'll come back with these figures (more precisely than what I know actually)
during july.

The formula will be checked against a database with time passed on
interventions, so well have this feedback info. I thought I was yet done in
some places , and that the data have been used to setup the formula.

Best regards.

  I aggree with this Wim. These questions should have reasonable answers,
and they would be valuable to be able to put on the table when dealing with
admin folks.
  I just put a brand new set of hammers on a Hamburg C in October. The
instrument has been used on average 5 hours a week since then. Just two
weeks ago I had no choice but to file down a bit as the grooves were 2 mm
deep already. These were 1/2 high Strike Weights.

  We all throw in data like this to a central data base.. and those answers
will reveal themselves. All we need is way of archiving the information so
it is easy to arrange in meaninful ways.

to have answered.
    Airplanes fly a certain number of hours before they are reconditioned
and eventually put in the graveyard out in Arizona. We get a maintenance
schedule for our cars. But what are some guidelines for pianos?

    How many "hours" of playing do a set of hammers get before needing to be
replaced? How many times can we restring a piano in the original pin block.
When does a soundboard need replacing? How many times can a piano be
rebuilt, with a new soundboard and pin block and strings?

    Last year this subject was talked about briefly, but I don't think we
ever got a definitive answer. I realize these are all questions with lots of
answers, based on usage, climate control, budgets, etc. But this is the kind
of information that would be useful, even to techs out in the field.

    Any one want to give some answers?

    Wim
