Ouch!

For me it is when I get tired of the kids complaining. ;-)

Subject: How often do you tune your piano?

Hi all,

A silly thread, perhaps, but I'm kind of curious about this.

Do we all suffer from "the gardener's yard is full of weeds" syndrome?
Honestly, how often do you tune your OWN piano?  Do you do it as often as
you recommend your clients do theirs?

And what other work have you done on it in the last few "service calls?"

Since I asked the questions, I'll give the first answers.

I tune my piano whenever the killer octave starts sounding really nasty,
usually ever 4 months or so(too much climate change in my place, and the
player--me--hammers on it kinda hard).

Last "service call":

Touched up the regulation.

Did a light sanding of hammers.

Teflonned knuckles.

Repaired lyre that was coming unglued.
