FWIW - don't know if this is exactly up your alley - but I find this  
helps me with hand/arm pain......
 
Is the trouble due to hitting the keys with your fingers during tuning?  
Have you tried using a key whacker (oops, I mean a key  
controlled-firm-depressor)?
 
Here is my whacker fresh out of my tuning case in all its glory. An  
18-second duct-tape job has held this assembly firmly together for  
about a year now. (Resting happily on some dusty piano plate somewhere  
is my more fancy epoxied whacker.)
