![]() ![]() I keep a tuning hammer on hand to adjust a few notes during those last two or three months approaching the next tuning, which works out fine for me. Not all pianos do that, however, and so more frequent tunings might be needed. My Baldwin grand holds a tuning really well, so the year works out just fine with light use. Now that I practice very little, I've gone to annual. When I was practicing a lot, I used to arrange for semi-annual tunings. Most people gauge their tuning schedule based on use. So there are several variables that change the "rules". New England, for example, is a challenging place to keep pianos in tune. ![]() I should also mention that climate plays a role too, i.e., high humidy in summer, subzero weather in winter, large temperature swings in the spring and fall, etc. Under more normal use, if one typically goes a year between tunings, then the time could indeed exceed 2 hours. ![]() But there are exceptions to that-a piano teacher's instrument that is frequently in use would likely require more time and attention. So, for example, if a piano is tuned quarterly, assuming the piano does not have a bad pin block and everything is quite normal, the tuning could be less than an hour. But the more important factor will be the state of the piano itself. The experience level of the tuner will have some bearing on the time to tune. ![]()
