Greetings,
Consider "auditioning" the piano (to use Jolly's description) before you
agree to be responsible for it. If the piano really needs work to be at or
near performance level, tell them that you cannot risk your reputation on a
poor instrument in a highly visible venue. If it is going to make you look
bad in a concert hall, better to forego the tuning income than have your
name negatively advertised. You may be surprised to find that they CAN have
it repaired if they must.
