Hah!....not likely John....explain it...........  yes...solve it no.
There are many other factors at work in these situations.......air 
conditioning cranked down to compensate for a large influx of people at one 
time.....all the moisture those people add to the air...ambient temp rise due 
to those people.... the lights of course.....the very act of playing the 
thingee...etc., etc............What we have with a concert instrument is a 
thingee which is trying to change constantly to match its surroundings which 
in turn are constantly changing over relatively short periods of time. Now 
these changes on the instruments part may take place at the pace of a 
turtle...but in some cases a verrry fast turtle.
 The only answer is to do the very best you can, given the conditions you are 
given, and taking 'known' change factors into consideration...then just do 
it!!
My view.
