------ =_NextPart_000_01BBD3A6.876FBEE0 Ha! This is a good one, and a problem we all face, after our first few = years in the business anyway. My own Kawai gets tuned every 5 years, whether it needs it or not! No, = actually, I tend to be the one who plays it the most, so when I am = practicing it gets tuned, or when someone is coming to visit who will = want me to play, then I feel obligated to tune it. I never am motivated to do things when I am asked. I don't know if this = is just some kind of male thing or what - I need to want to do it = myself. So . . . What you need to do is tell you wife that you need to buy a laptop = computer and Dean's new tuning software, and that then you will be happy = to try out the software on your piano. You will be tuning the piano = weekly for the next few months, having fun playing with the software. Once the newness of the software wears off, you'll have to find another = reason to keep tuning it. Maybe Dean will get into the upgrade game (Buy = the new Cybertuner version 4.2.5! New and improved!), and mac owners can = buy the new fun version every 6 months or so to keep up the inspiration. Talk about expensive tunings! Another (maybe more rational) idea, but it won't work unless you don't = know about it: She should schedule an appointment with another tuner! = That will make you feel so guilty that you'll never let the piano go = more than a few months without tuning! It might be fun to check out the = competition, too.
