Concert Tuning & Prep Sequence

[Leslie Bartlett]

I would say tune it at least four times before he gets hold of it. Somewhere
I heard he's really hard on pianos.

Subject: Concert Tuning & Prep Sequence


I have been called to do what I would consider my first real concert tuning.
The pianist is Dino (well known in Christian circles) and the piano will be
a Yamaha C7 (I believe) that hasn't been tuned/serviced in at least 3 years
(church).  I have already determined that I will approach this in two stages
spanning 2 days due to the limited amount of time available on the day of
the concert. I am planning to do a pitch-raise and as much prep work as
possible on day 1 and then return the next day (piano will be moved a small
distance of 4-5 ft. on the morning of day 2 after a graduation ceremony) to
retune and be present during the sound-check with the artist.
 
I would like to receive advice regarding the sequence of concert work as
well as insight into the artist's expectations from any of you who might
have tuned for Dino.
 
Thanks!
