How often do you tune your piano?

[Bec and John]

Hi Dave,

I usually do a full tuning every few months. But I practise on my piano=20=

everyday and touch up any unison whenever I am bothered by it. I=20
usually touch up unisons everyday, depending on the weather (no=20
dampp-chaser installed or climate control), definitely over the summer=20=

with the large humidity fluctuations. If an octave bothers me while I'm=20=

playing I'll tune that also.
