Hi Wim,
                The concert grands get some with every tuning, even if it's 
only a chop stick through the strings. About weekly.  Piano Prof's studios 
every 6 months, and they need it. That's a fairly major voicing job each 
time.
The concert grands in the busy Theatre ( several hard playing hours per 
day)  get a light reshape, hammer fit, and complete voicing once a 
year,  Hammers should be changed every 4 to 5 years, but money being what 
it is. about 7years.

The sound quality of ANY PIANO IS CONSTANTLY CHANGING.   Voicing changes at 
about the same rate as the tuning.  As you pointed out, for a variety of 
reasons.  The state of a persons health and well being, also has an 
effect.   I know I hear differently when I am tired,  and do my best 
voicing work in the morning.

Regards Roger
