[pianotech] Further explanation: How long do unisons hold?

[Dean May]

A good check on yourself is to look at the pianos you regularly service.
When you find a lot of unisons still fairly decent after 6 to 12 months, pat
yourself on the back. You are doing a good job. 

 

Some pianos are awful in that amount of time of course. I comfort myself
with the knowledge that lots of pianos I tune regularly are not. I know that
my tuning skill can produce a moderately stable tuning because I've seen
lots of these among my clientele. So for those that go awful, chock it up to
environmental/other issues.

I really think Bill's question is legit. I've had much the same question in
the back of my mind for years. Perhaps Bill is like me in that my tunings
are pretty much the only tunings I ever hear. I don't work at a store or a
school where I might have some exposure to other tuner's work. So in that
vacuum, it can be difficult to conclude one way or the other "how am I
doing?".
