Well, now that I come to think of it, I don't quite do all of what you are saying. I drive to Newport in the morning, tune the piano. I touch bases with the artist at some point, usually. I come back (usually after another job) about 6:30 or 7:00 and check over the piano -- tweak if needed. Not a "tuning" at all, maybe a few notes. Go to the concert (that's the fun part, and free admission) and if I hear anything which makes me uncertain about unisons I go up at intermission and quietly play up the treble scale. Sometimes I tweak one or two, sometimes none, sometimes I don't feel the need to go up, a few times I've cleaned up a whole bunch of slightly smeary notes, but that was years ago. Both concert grands are solid citizens now. In any case, --------- not a biggie. I REALLY like it to sound GOOOOOOOOD. The artists bring such incredible sounds out of a well-tuned piano. Well -- many of them.
