    What are you worried about? Nobody's going to be able to hear your =
work, anyway! Look, the real work of a Concert Tech comes BEFORE the =
concert, that's when you have the time to go over the piano. If someone =
calls you for a "Concert Tuning" when you don't have the ability to do a =
"Concert Preparation" on the piano, or at least inspect the piano to see =
if it's up to concert work, then it's just a tuning! Then you show up, =
and you give them the best tuning that you can, you voice really bad =
notes to blend in, you maybe level a few strings, that's all.=20
    The weight of the World does not have to rest on your shoulders. If =
they hand you a lemon, do your best and shake your head. As the band is =
warming up, take the time to talk to the Manager of the Theater. If he =
wants things to go perfectly, then he has to take care of business.

    You are worrying yourself to death about ;nothing. Yes, it is a =
"concert," and=20
    you should do the best you can. But under the circumstances, and not =
to down=20
    grade your ability, but I doubt very much if the pianist, much less =
the=20
    audience, will hear if your unisons aren't perfect, much less if =
your thirds=20
    aren't progressing.=20

    Do what you can, use what ever method you use under normal =
circumstances, and=20
    have fun. Hey, maybe you'll even see some of those flashers.=20
