Greetings, 
    This is the smart thing to do.  If the pianist is not accustomed to a 
change of temperament,  it will often throw them for a loop.  This is 
Definitely NOT a thing to do on stage. It can have as large an effect as 
changing the regulation between rehearsal and performance.  That "extra mile" 
can be an "alien invasion" if the artist is not prepared.  Music played on 
well tempered pianos feels differently than on equally tempered one, at 
least, according to my customers.
