[pianotech] PIANO BAR TUNING

[Dean May]

When you say goes out of tune, could you quantify? Do you mean more unisons
are going out than the other two? Or is it seeing more pitch fluctuations?

 

If the latter my first guess is the piano is seeing more air movement than
the other two. Check for vent proximity. 

 

If the former it may be a heavy handed pianist that the other two don't see.

I tune pianos for a cruise ship and they are puzzled about the piano bar
piano which goes out of tune readily.  Other pianos
On the ship of the same model (Yamaha G2) are relatively stable and require
minor changes. The piano is used 3 hours each
night. I tune the piano every 2 weeks. What can I tell the music director?
