Hi Newton, That translates to twenty tunings/week or tuning every piano once per month. I do 3/day making a round in about eight weeks. Does anyone do once/month for average pianos? I always start over to A-440 even if the piano is pretty good but off pitch. I go over them twice and work for quality instead of quantity. What was the standard at Rutgers during your years and what do feel works the best? What % time did you give to tuning vs. other things, With me it's about 70-tuning 30-other. How much time should be given to each concert piano? -Mike Jorgensen Central Michigan University.
