Hi Barbara,
Two or three a year, typically, courtesy of the local Yamaha dealer. I 
still have (I think) two pianos out there with the letoff rail at half 
mast, and due to be corrected with the next tuning. Interestingly, when I 
do the final pass on getting letoff back where it was before I messed it up 
enough to satisfy them, they usually comment on how much better it feels. 
Sometimes I think I'm living in a Monty Python movie...

That's the theory, anyway, but isn't it a surprise and a real treat when it 
happens?
