Non-Bicycle bicycle glove applications are only limited to your imagination.

I've had carpal tunnel surgery on both wrists and for a long while 
avoided cycling (motor and pedal), but recent acquisition of a new 
(not-drop-handlebar) bicycle has me thinking that I'll be pedaling my 
xxx all over this area next year.

I haven't tuned pianos with cycling gloves, but certainly use them while 
driving pins, running router/sander/drill press, pushing lawnmower, 
operating chainsaw, tiller, vacuum and driving car/pickup. (18 hour 
drive to Philly from here doesn't leave my hands numb) In short, any 
activity which transmits constant vibration to the hand and wrist is a 
possible use for them.
