I do float between 440 - 442 except on the recital pianos.  Since those =
are often played with other instruments that are stuck at 440 I keep =
them there.  The rest can float but within that 2 Hz range.  I go with =
the pitch of A4.  If A4 is sharp the tenor will undoubtedly be even =
sharper but gathering the piano together where A4 is now seems to work =
well.

I imagine that if you "recently" tuned the piano (last week or last =
month or two months ago) and now it's still "in tune" but a couple of =
cents sharp, you tune it where it lies? That makes it a half-hour tuning =
instead of an hour and a half, and the following week (or month or =
couple of months) you again tune it where it lies, and within six =
months, when you have the couple of hours, you bring it all to 440 =
again. Yes? Or do you keep adjusting it to 440 every time? Or sell =
Dampp-chasers?

I tune cruise ship pianos once a week.  On them you have the problem of =
rocking, vibrations, salt air, hard players and continuous playing =
(mechanisms).  Comes down to the fact that you tune a whenever it needs =
it.

	Hi everyone,
	How often is too often to tune a piano?  I typically see twice a year, =
or even every three months.  Is anything less than that necessary such =
as once a month or even once a week which I 've heard of?
