Your piano faculty should be very, very = thankful you are tuning the pianos once a week! I'm afraid I'm one of = the "8 week" guys but my goal is to tune them much more often than that = (however in my defense, I usually catch all the odd jobs that they can = cram under the "technical director" umbrella--and believe me it's a huge = umbrella. Interestingly the Chair has told me several times to let him = know when the "odd jobs" were interfering with my piano care, but when I = do, he just ignores the comment!). Tell your piano faculty that 1) I = don't think they deserve you and 2) to get their hearing checked or take = a piano tuning course. They'll realize when a concert style instrument = is going out of tune! Thanks for setting the standard! Joy!

They want to know why their pianos = need tuning once a week. (and they do need it, especially during the = winter). One of the professors claims that at another university she = worked at, her piano lasted 8 weeks.=20 How often are you guys tuning the piano faculty pianos, presuming they = get played heavily about 30 hours a week?
