[pianotech] PIANO BAR TUNING

[bppiano at aol.com]

Been there, done that, got the T shirt.  Does the piano stage have spotlights?   Does the pianist play "rock and roll"?   Is there cooking and such close to the piano during the day?   Is their a AC vent close by?

No matter how well the piano is tuned, unless there is a stable environment, the piano will not stay in tune.

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?
