Interesting.   This is the second mention of piano playing as a remedy for 
hand/wrist problems from tuning.   For the first time since I began tuning, I am 
NOT playing on weekend gigs.   I gave up my restaurant gig in August, and I 
have since developed a problem in my right wrist.   It's not carpal tunnel, no 
numbness or tingling, just pain.   

This has been my busiest stretch (over 100 tunings since October) ever, so it 
may just be that I'm tuning more pianos than I ever had before, and that in 
itself has given me the problem that I have.   But, since reading these posts, 
I'm going to try playing the piano every day.   (I've been meaning to 
anyway...I feel my hands getting soft again...)
