Here are > a few possible considerations toward your survival on tuning days. Here's a couple ways I change the grind a little. I usually tune a maximum of five pianos per day, no more than four days per week. On most days after the first piano I stop at a convenience store and buy a coffee. I take something along to read if I have some spare time between appointments, and once in a while I even pull off in a park, recline my seat and catch forty winks. While driving I listen to the radio or a cassette. I remember the first year I did this job fulltime in 1992. I felt so fortunate, driving around in my car between appointments, when other people are often stuck at one place all day long. It seemed like I was partly on vacation! But of course we know I'm not. It good to have opportunity to think this through again. Pardon the rambling. Regards, Clyde
