I always spend between 1.2 and 1.5 hours, unless I'm following myself on 
a piano that's tuned often; then it will be less.  I can do what most 
people would perceive as a fabulous, solid tuning in 45 minutes, but it's 
not that much fun---I like it slow and precise.  Only aural for me at 
this time.

For concerts and recording, it could be 5 or 10 minutes longer, but never 
2 hours unless the pins are extremely jumpy or there are a LOT of false 
beats in the treble that I have to "Obewon-Kenobi" into silence.
