Actually.... a tuner is in his full rights to sue the pants off a player 
/ artist who does such. And probably could win handily if it could be 
shown that whatever problems the piano had were not the fault of the 
tuner, and that the artist had absolutely no idea of the conditions in 
which the work was done.

Tuners are all to kind... strange breed we are methinks..
