<< Why is it that all concert halls a quiet until the last top octave or half
 octave when everyone starts shouting, tuning up, banging, running around,
 warming up and otherwise making the tuners job near impossible?

Because musicians always shwo up an hour before the orchestra manager (read
stage manager, etc.) says they will.  About the only way to be sure is to do
the tuning for an evening concert early in the morning and then wait for the
Air Cond. and stage lites to screw up your good job.
