Small labels run thru your printer with a space for the date last tuned to place on the month prior to next servicing. A reminder on the bottom of the bench lid may go forgotten if not opened frequently. Imagine if you went to buy a used car and under the hood were dates written with a marker. Picture a vintage classic with all this graffiti. New cars come with a service record booklet for recording the maintenance. The only application I have made to pianos is a small pressure sensative label (1/2 x 3/4) placed on the plate strut beside #1 agraffe. On this I record the date which I treated the pressure ridges and agraffes with Protek. I started this in 1992 and retreatment logged within 3 to 5 years for jumpy and ratcheting strings. Sometimes another application was required the following year then it maintained for up to 5 years. Fortunately these are easily removed because one customer removed the sticker both times I treated. I respect his property and will not place another. Imagine if I wrote this on the bottom of the music desk or plate. He'd probably make me refinish the pieces.
