For a school with many pianos, it would be easy to forget which pianos you tightened and which pianos still need tightening. I am thinking of making a list of all the pianos and each time I tune, picking an area and tightening all the screws in one area, such as tightening all case screws. Then next time, I will see on the list that I need to tighten the action screws. And eventually all the undercarriage screws would be tightened. This would make sure that the work gets done on every piano on a rotating basis. Just rambling thoughts! Have a nice day David Vanderhoofven Registered Piano Technician David I have a data base in File maker pro, on which I not only record every tuning I do to every piano, but there is also space to write down what extra work I do on each piano. Just before school starts in the fall, I check to see what I've done to each piano, and make notes on which pianos need additional work. Then throughout the year, I will schedule the additional maintenance, including tightening all the screws, on an as needed basis. I realize I am in a different situation than you, in that I am employed full time, and I don't have to keep track of my time on each piano, but it does help me keep track of all the pianos in the department.
