Gratuities & concert tuning

[Jorgensen, Michael L]

I agree with this approach. IMHO tuning too much tuning causes instability and wears out the action.

> For 30 years I scheduled the concert hall pianos to be tuned on Friday morning.  I referred to it as a sacred occurrence.  No requests were approved for last minute rehearsals, visiting school children, etc.  Everyone knew I was in the hall and could stop by for a quick consultation about problems with the pianos.  Otherwise, the pianos were NOT tuned specifically for a concert during the week.
