With the exception of the harpsichords, I usually don't have a problem in that
realm. All concerts & recitals are on a computer schedule, to which I have 
access,
so I keep a pretty close watch on what's happening. Both major halls have 
two 'D's in them, so piano availability is not a problem. The only problem 
I've had is that the student is supposed to indicate which piano is to be 
used but they rarely do. So, with the exception of the pianists (who 
usually do indicate), I've gotten to the point where I just tune whichever 
one I think would be best for that particular recital. I have better things 
to do than to track down a student or accompanist to ask which piano as I 
did when I first came here.
