Just relax. It's a tuning, and you've done tunings before, somewhat successfully I assume. The most important thing, by my reckoning, is to try to maintain a sense of humor while tuning in the "wild". The piano is just a piano, and the people involved are just people. The venue, being outside, is just the pits but you've survived worse and lived to tell the tale. Show up on time, communicate with them what's there, and give them what you've got in the time you have available. It's pretty simple and straight forward if you don't make it more complicated and traumatic than it really is, and the folks involved will appreciate the simplicity at least as much as any superhuman tuning you may produce. Survival first - all around. Ron N
