Make sure they tape shut any heating/air duct in the area. I would insist on double plastic barriers around the demo site instead of each piano since the dust continues to spread even after the demo is done. Use only Nashua 357 duct tape with the black backing. It sticks to anything (dirty concrete), is tough and the left over can be used on stages to tape down wires and such.
