David- Obviously some educating is in order, to try to instruct people who feel that a higher pitch is needed. Other than that , I would: 
        a. refuse to tune at a higher pitch, citing structural piano reasons, tuning stability
            etc.
        b.  insist that they give a few days lead time so that the piano can stabilize, and             refuse to do it if they dont.
        c. charge them a lot of money extra for all the hassle you have to endure so that         one group in a million can have pitch set 2 cycles per second higher.  
        I'm sorry, but I have little tolerance for this coddling of artists who mistake pitch 
            for brilliance or timbre.  We as tuners need to educate them and insist on a 
            standard or else much much compensation for our trouble.  I had a group 
            from Germany come to my school - I think they wanted 443 believe it or not, 
            and I broke the F# string above the bass/tenor break for my troubles.  Yes. it 
            does affect even a nine-foot concert grand.
