Hi Terry,                                                                       
            A thin lightweight piece of plastic over the strings will help 
prevent pitch changes during your tuning.                                       
                              Be prepared to wait for who or whatever is 
running late when you arrive, and also to do what you can in the 15 minutes 
they allow for you while they set up the drum kit behind you and shout CHECK, 
CHECK, over the loudspeaker.                      It's not usually like that 
, but bottom line; the piano will be barely audible over the drums and guitar 
anyway.  So relax and enjoy tuning outdoors for once.
