[pianotech] string "exercising"

When I first started building my business 20 years ago, I told my customers
that their pianos needed to be tuned every year if possible. That would keep
the strings exercised and not brittle at the coils or near the bridge pin or
pressure bar terminal points. It seems that a very high percentage pf my
customers are regulars, and when I tune them, hardly any of the mono or
bi-chord strings need tuning at all. Is it wrong to let these in tune
strings sit there year after year without movement or should I be moving
them?
