frenns,

Concert venue pianos (4) - weekly
2/3M pipe organs (2) - weekly
Classroom pianos (12) - monthly
Studios (many) - Aug/Jan/spring
Practice rooms (many) - Aug/Jan/spring
Dorm pianos (3) - whenever
[96 pianos/5 organs/4 harpsichords total]

Some studios more often due to use/personality.

There is a computer scheduling program and I use it for organs and some 
recital prep (harpsichord/fortepiano due to very time sensitive tunings), 
but most piano recital tuning takes place before 0800.  My schedule has 
evolved/devolved (your call) to starting at 0500 which gives me much max 
flexibility as to where I work. I have ZERO schedule conflicts with 
classes/lessons/rehearsals for three hours.  Many complaints handled before 
they have class/lessons the next day.  I walk out the door by 1400 and 
enjoy no lines at stores/banks.  I can do afternoon "moonlighting" and when 
I return my tools to my room people ask if I'm still there, working 
late...  ;-}
