Hi,
I'm a practicing musician, so I tune it when the octaves or unisons =
start to go.

  Hi all,=20

  A silly thread, perhaps, but I'm kind of curious about this.=20

  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?=20

  And what other work have you done on it in the last few "service =
calls?"=20

  Since I asked the questions, I'll give the first answers.=20

  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).  =20

  Last "service call":=20

  Touched up the regulation.=20

  Did a light sanding of hammers.=20

  Teflonned knuckles.=20

  Repaired lyre that was coming unglued.=20
