tuning time

[Robin Olson]

    Interesting how there is some variety in the answers on the list.
I am strictly an aural tuner and have been at it for twenty two 
years.My general tuning time is one hour.Pitch raise is about an hour 
and twenty minutes to thirty or forty.Regular every six month or less 
tuning on a seasoned piano would easily be 40-45 minutes,with ten to 
twenty minutes spent on acion tweeking and voiceing(hammer maintenance)
I also do alot of concert tunings on the S'way C+A's that I take care 
of,and those tunings usually end up in the 45 minute range,but I can 
do it quicker if I have to.    Robin Olson  RPT
