From storage to stage

Well good view, much impraticable most often.

For concert situations, I also insist that the pianist don't approach
the piano, even during the concert.

Pianos are too serious things to be put in the hands of pianists (I.
OLEG - 2004)

and so on ...

Thoughts?  Opinions?  What do you do?"

Barbara,
Although I do not do many concert situations, I insist the piano be on
stage, in place for at least 24 hours before the concert. Also, I like
to
have ALL of the stage lights, that will be used during the concert,
ON. And
left on until the "house" is opened to the public. If the venue will
not do
this, then I refuse to do the work. (Period) Concert instruments are
"squirrely" enough without the added climatic problems caused by the
"administration" of such venues not knowing what the heck they're
about, in
regards to THE PIANO! (hmm? please excuse the run-on sentence.<G>)
