Three comments on this thread, I had two tunings yesterday that were basically done in 35 minutes, these were yearly clients who had scheduled one on the same day of the year and one 2 days later than the anniversary date! Humidity and temperature were almost exactly what they were last year, pianos were off by one or two cents throughout. Tuning was a breeze. Spent an extra 5 minutes nit picking. Second comment. I allow 2 hours between tunings, time for travel, break, sit in the park or whatever. Usually spend 75 to 90 minutes in the home. Rest of the time in this case was spent in cleaning, and regulation touch-up, playing and talking with the client. Third comment, I find to be true that in most cased going over the tuning twice is quicker than trying to do even a minor pitch raise once. I am a pounder, especially on the first pass, I think that this aids in stability for the final pass. Larry Messerly, RPT Prescott/Phonix
