Aural versus ETD tuning training

I see a slight problem in asking this, since each piano dictates 
whether a single, double, or even a triple pass are needed, let alone 
potential repair/regulation activity that might exist.

Are you interested in the *actual* time of physically doing the 
tuning (how many passes) versus walking in the door, formalities that 
ensue, breaking out the gear and setting up, then doing the tuning 
with no interruptions.

Then packing up, collecting for services rendered, the bon voyage 
amenities, and then out the door.

For the latter it varies from one to one & half hours. For the former 
I don't know myself just how long it really takes.

Now you've got my curiosity up. Guess I'll have to start timing some tunings.
