[pianotech] when to tune...

This Saturday a piano in my care will be used in an outdoor performance.  I have been allotted time from 7-9 AM to service it, and again at 1 PM prior to the 2 PM down beat.  I will also be able to spend time with it Friday afternoon, INdoors.  Friday night, everything goes "outside."  The piano will be covered (floor-length skirt), but, aside from that, will spend the night exposed to the elements.  


My question is this:  Do y'all think  it would be productive or counterproductive to tune the piano from 7-9 AM, or am I better off letting it warm up (and dry out!) during the morning hours, then do what I can in the time just before the performance (assuming, of course, that I do not get bumped from that slot!).


Thoughts?


Thanks,


Alan Eder
