Hi Michelle, Yes, the heat needs to be on for many hours before the tuning is attempted. Point out to them they are getting a "free" tuning worth X dollars. Tell them you need this to do your job properly. The cost of "ramping" the heat up and down and up again will likely exceed the cost of leaving it up overnight--especially if the sanctuary is large. I assume this will be a repeat venue for recitals. Tell them that the piano was unacceptable this time due to the rapid heat/humidity changes, and that the heat needs to be stable next time. The other alternative is leaving the heat off for the recital too *grin*.
