Petrof, perhaps? This being a church, I'm assuming that one is in the sanctuary, one in a choir rehearsal space and the other in a Fellowship Hall? (am I close?) With heavy,frequent, and exacting use I usually with recommend four(4) tunings per year for the sanctuary instrument,scheduling them strategically to fall just before Christmas, Easter, in late summer after vacations end and the last mid summer , three(3) per year for the rehearsal piano and 2 or three for the remaining instrument, That's a total of 9-10 tunings per year. Of course, you can adjust the timing of the tunings and even the number of tunings to allow for unusual weather anomalies and the particular church schedule. Fit needed repairs/regulations in as required. David and Julie Streit wrote: >I have a new client with three 8 or 8 1/2 foot grands. All are about three years old.
