How long would you expect a Halo to remain in a reasonably playable condition with careful handling?

Many factors go into what causes an instrument such as this to either stay in or go out of tune. So far, Halos seem to be staying in tune quite well.

We do however recommend tuning at least every few years.

Of course, your Halo will not be harmed if you wait longer than that! The concern is not damage, but rather that we are perfectionists and ideally would like all Halos to always be in tip-top condition. We want to emphasize that we are not looking to make money on this plan. It’s simply put forth for the well-being of the instrument.

Also, the longer you wait to have your Halo tuned, the more work it may require, and thus the tuning fees may be higher.
