My time varies with the piano, how out of tune it is and the ease with which it renders, but it averages about an hour for me, a little more with a pitch raise. I can go through the piano in 30 minutes when pressed but I don't see the need. Of course, if it's a piano I tune frequently (concert type) sometimes I can "tune" it in 15 minutes.
