Wim, At the four schools we contract with all pianos have climate =
control systems installed and maintained twice a year. All the pianos =
(87 of them) are tuned four times per year Late August, early November, =
mid January and mid March. Some are tuned additionally for concerts, =
masrter classes and recording sessions as often as daily, and =
occassionally by request. Sometimes it is not enough to possess and =
practice adequate or even superior skills, sometimes we have to hear =
what is not being said or played. Best of luck with this difficult =
customer relations problem. Chris Solliday

  There is minor argument between the piano faculty and myself as to how =
often their pianos should be tuned. They want to know why their pianos =
need tuning once a week. (and they do need it, especially during the =
winter). One of the professors claims that at another university she =
worked at, her piano lasted 8 weeks.=20

  How often are you guys tuning the piano faculty pianos, presuming they =
get played heavily about 30 hours a week?
