Tuning touch ups are not all that difficult and can extend your regulation tuning for months and months if your studio is controlled for humidity. Get yourself a tuning hammer and a few rubber mutes. You don't even need a tuner. Work with the octaves finding ones that go out first after the regulation tuning. Usually one of the 'outside' pair of unison strings will start 'beating' out of tune. (I just play the each actual string for that note with my fingernail with the damper up, listen carefully. Then damper down, repeat for that note or move on.) Work the beats back to uni with the tuning hammer while muting the other outside unison. That's about it. Soon you will have it down to a quick routine every other day. And, when a session is proceeding it's always a cool move to go out and do your own touch ups right there when you need it. So.....start practicing!
