Hey,
thanks for this information Malte.
I have a feeling it could take me a long time to pinpoint the problem myself, so I'm considering taking this to a repair guy in the near future.
If I do - and find out some more about the problem, I'll report back to this group in case it helps someone in the future.
Meanwhile, any further "tricks" I could try at home are, of course, more than welcome. I do know exactly which voice it is out of the six.
PS. I now had the unit powered off for several days and after powering it back on after that, the tuning time was over 2 hours - way longer than before. Now, after letting it rest through the night - for some 10 hours or so - it's back to 10 minutes, the same I described before. Also, when I first got this problem, I recall the time it took to tune was also a couple of hours - and after that, always 10 minutes, for days (during which time it was never kept shut down for more than 10 hours in between).
Based on this it would seem like the amount the tuning goes off (and how long it takes for it to return), correlates with the amount of time it has been turned off in between.
