Well, you do get used it after a while. As for records, I tuned 11. Started at 9 AM. Took two 10 minute breaks in the morning, took an hour lunch and was done by 2 PM. Spent on average 20 minutes a piece and they did come out nice. I was working with another tech who couldn't believe it. I was pretty tired by then though.

My view of the high numbers is probably skewed by a guy I know who can do 15 pretty regularly. His end result is not to be confused with a concert tuning nor actually even a decent console tune-up. I'm sure that many of you who do the high daily numbers do very good work I just can't keep up with that pace. My personal record is 10 in a day. That was 5 each in two schools (little driving) and the pianos were tuned twice a year and all were P22s (easy to tune). That was also many years ago when I was considerably younger! How do you manage that many tunings in a day? dave _________________________ David M.
