tuning time

[Ron Nossaman]

>my tuning time depends on how far away from Concert Pitch the piano is - the
>closer it is to Concert Pitch, the shorter time it takes me...usually.

Here, the ones that are further off pitch are usually the basket case 
climate control situations, and they get the 45-50 minute pass and touch up 
check. The ones close to pitch, I tend to spend more time on - 60-75 
minutes. Maybe it's a "degree of improvement" thing, and I know the tuning 
in the lousy climate control will be wasted next week when the weather 
changes.

A concert tuning takes what it takes, whether it's the 20 minutes they 
allowed me, or the 1.5 hours I might spend on a tunable instrument before 
I'm satisfied with it.
