When I first started tuning (48 years ago) my tuning time was 1.5 to 2.0 hours. I then though if I really concentrated on setting the pin in two movements it would shorten the time. So I make it a challenge to only move the hammer only twice for each pin. If I overshot on the second movement I would try harder on the next pin. Robin Stevens ARPT South Australia My first tuning took me 8 hours. After several year, I got my time down to 45 minutes. But now I am more finicky, and I'm back up to 60 - 70 minutes.
