assessment usually in every one year. They need tuning from one to four every
year based on its usage and how humid climate it is been kept.

check-up is sufficient. If it is antique then annual check-up will be needed.
There is no need of tuning.

one check-up a year. If some problem arises then get it inspected immediately.
