HI 
  Barbara
  I prefer to have the piano baked but don't care  much for the experience my 
self so I usually tune it & let it float. The  oboe & woodwins can tolerate 
about a 4 cent drift either side of  440 before they complain so your 4 cent 
drift isn't to  eztreme
   . It would be easy to quickly reset your  bass ocatves if you have the 
chance at the dinner break but you/we are juggling  the pitch & frankly in 
reality there is ony so much we as tuners can do ...  unless some one has an extra 
magic wand I can borrow Friday  night?
  The pitch will come up over the course of an  hour or so with the lights 
off & then the lights come back on.  what to  do ,what to do....

Hi all (especially Guy Nichols),
 
Big concert on Friday.  The piano  concerto isn't first on the program, darn. 
 So......where should I put  the pitch--preheated under the lights or o' de 
natural?  If it helps, I  tune before the rehearsal, the rehearsal is 
mid-afternoon, orchestra  breaks for dinner (piano gets touched up), concert at 8 pm.  
I know it  doesn't take long for the downward drift to take place, but how 
long does it  take for it to go back up?   
 
I've found that the drift with the lights is  normally 4 cents in the tenor 
and treble.   Fortunately, the  unisons don't go wild.
 
Thanks for your insight.
 
Barbara  Richmond
