Tuning a piano is a pain. But just cuz it takes so long. I do it to mine about every 6-9 months, and I can't bear to pay somebody $100, even if it takes me longer. The first time I did it, it took me about 8 hours, but I was doing it by ear with a tuning fork, but then we got a digital tuner later, and then it only takes 2-3 hours. Although, it still only registers the middle so the bottom and top have to be done by ear. But that's okay, since we don't use those parts as much so I don't care if it's as perfect. That and the bottom notes only have one string anyway. (Stupid half the piano has 3 strings per note...)
Kids were helping for a bit today, and then did a bit more after they went to bed. Still have 2.5 octaves to go.
