Am currently learning to play the piano, but I am interested in learning piano tuning too, how important or related is these two? Do I need to actually master how to play the piano before I can start to learn piano tuning, or they are more or less two different things? Thanks!
Would knowing how to play the piano help much in learning piano tuning?

Is it possible to start your own piano tuning service? How much should a person charge?
How long does it take for a good piano to get out of tune?

Yes that is my general question, but here is more about my case..
I have an English Eavestaff upright piano which gets out of tune in about 6 months. I play around 1 to 2 hours per day on average. Eavestaff (Chippendale, if you know what I mean..)
If you really know what I mean, how good is the piano otherwise??? I kind of bought it, because I loved the tone plus it takes more finger force to press the keys, which is good, as this develops your fingers and you get a great pleasure and ease when playing other pianos..
Another question:
When a tuner comes to your home to tune your piano, what a good professional tuner should consider. I know some tuners not only tune but do something to the softness of the hammers and they might even change the touch,.. how to say… well the amount of force needed to suppress the key.. Is this true and is this good stuff to expose your piano to???
What should one consider in such issues???
The piano is very new. Bought it shiny from a piano shop couple of years ago…

Do rural communities in the US have enough capable piano tuners to service fine pianos?

I am also wondering about community orchestras that invite touring pianists to perform in their town or city. Are piano tuner/technician needs met locally? Or do these organizations have to find tuners in the bigger cities to travel out to their location and take care of the concert grands? What are the challenges to smaller communities in maintaining their concert level pianos? Interested particularly in areas like Mississippi, Louisiana, Arkansas, North Carolina, etc.
