I foung this piano at the thrift store flat everywhere.  It was a piece =
of work, and a good practice piano.  It's still some off, and I'll go =
back and work on it some more.  I figure once  Ido the hard pianos, the =
good pianos will be a treat.=20

        Jason..I think in the "real world" the sharp or flat factor =
applies mostly to the Tenor section. Rarely, in my opinion does the =
piano go sharp or flat EVENLY over the whole piano.... Here lies the =
problem...If the Tenor goes sharp, do you raise the Bass and treble to =
match? or do you lower the Tenor section?

        Bit of..Six of one or, half a dozen of the other!

        I imagine that if you "recently" tuned the piano (last week or =
last month or two months ago) and now it's still "in tune" but a couple =
of cents sharp, you tune it where it lies? That makes it a half-hour =
tuning instead of an hour and a half, and the following week (or month =
or couple of months) you again tune it where it lies, and within six =
months, when you have the couple of hours, you bring it all to 440 =
again. Yes? Or do you keep adjusting it to 440 every time? Or sell =
Dampp-chasers?

        I tune cruise ship pianos once a week.  On them you have the =
problem of rocking, vibrations, salt air, hard players and continuous =
playing (mechanisms).  Comes down to the fact that you tune a whenever =
it needs it.

        Hi everyone,
        How often is too often to tune a piano?  I typically see twice a =
year, or even every three months.  Is anything less than that necessary =
such as once a month or even once a week which I 've heard of?
