On the same subject, I was tuning the concert piano on stage for the concert that night and just as I finished the last section, someone flipped on the stage spotlights and immediately the piano lost 2 cents in pitch across the board. I figured it would gain back those 2 cents when the lights went out etc. Does everyone tune concert pianos with the stage lights on?
