In 1965 - did it take you 4 hours and 30 minutes to tune a piano? Did = you tune 10 pianos in that year? In 1980 - did it take you 3 hours to tune a piano? Did you tune 200 = pianos in that year? In 1980 - did it take you 3 hours to tune a piano? Did you tune 200 = pianos in that year? Were you working another job? When did you tune = these 200 - if you only started tuning after work and on Saturdays in = 1990? It's amazing how you hit plateaus every once in a while when you start = out. I have been tuning for just over three years full time now - I use = my SAT III, and just recently I noticed that I am doing a two-pass = tuning very reliably in 1 hour 15 minutes. Just in the last week I did = several small pitch raises (up to 20 cents) and a fine tuning in less = than and hour and a half. Yesterday the lady said she had to leave in = 1-1/2 hours - her piano was 20 cents flat. I was done tuning in 1-1/4 = hours. Truely amazed myself. Just a couple months ago I had not be able = to regularly get a pitch raise and tuning to less than two hours - then = all of a sudden vooosh! You are tuning much faster! Maybe I'll try your split mute idea. I use two mutes and leapfrog across = the scale, tuning unisons as I go. I realize it is likely the slowest = way. It sounds like you are getting faster with your Verituner. I think = you posted just recently and indicated that it was taking a lot longer = (2 hours?) to tune with the Verituner.
