Joe,

Back when I also used to tune in the "boondocks", I did the same kind 
of thing.
Although I'll admit that I never tuned 8-10 in one trip! :-)

One time while living in Biloxi however, the store I worked through sent me to
another one a long way away to tune for a sale they were going to 
have. I believe
the first day I did about 15 or so. The dealer said not to worry 
about it being a
concert level tuning. He just wanted to not be embarrassed when he 
played on the
piano while demonstrating one to a customer! So, quick temperament, octaves &
unisons and away I went. Of course in those days, I only tuned 
aurally and didn't
get distracted by spinning lights! :-D
