Why wait on the DC? It looks like you are in New Jersey. You guys have pretty extreme humidity swings between winter and summer. Also, spinet pianos seem to be more chaotically affected by humidity swings. No amount of regular tuning is going to change that. The sooner you put in the DC, the sooner your client will start enjoying a more in tune piano. Years ago I had a client with a Yamaha console that I tuned every 6 months. Every time I showed up the piano sounded awful. The client said the tunings didn't seem to last very long. One problem was wood heat which really can dry things out in the winter. She decided to have me put a complete system in the piano. After the initial follow up tuning the piano became very stable. It was like night and day. That was the one client that really showed me the value of these systems.
