need some opinions

need some opinionsJon,

I agree with this completely!  I have a night club who I have this same problem with.  Sometimes the pianist calls me and sometimes he calls a another tuner friend of mine.  A few days later he calls one of us and says that the piano is out of tune again.  Having 2 tuners don't help...  The piano is not one that will stay in tune any how, 2 techniques just makes it more unstable than it already is.  Like you it takes me 2 visits to get the piano to some what stay in tune.

    ... informed the pianist that I could not share such tunings with another
    tuner because it would ultimately affect the piano...


  I tell customers that it is better to have one tuner. Different tuners tune differently
  in regards to pin setting and stretch. I find that it takes two tunings to get the piano
  'back' to my style.


  I used to get a call from one lady every few years. I seemed that she liked to
  'spread the wealth' and give every tuner in the area a turn. The piano was always
  dreadful but after a few of my sessions she realized that my tunings lasted longer
  and had me tune consecutively for a few years, then she moved.


  I had the situation again recently and told the owner to pick a tuner, if she insisted
  on multiple tuners, count me out. Not just for tuning stability but for service
  and maintenance.
