Dave, as a client, when my tuner arrives, I:
   1) Ensure that TV, dishwasher, stereo, vaccuums, are off.
   2) Turn off the air conditioner
   3) Have previously arranged the appointment so that tuner is not  
there the same day that mower for my lawn or my neighbors is due.
   4) Pets confined to separate room on another floor for the duration.
   5) All "junk" (scores, lamps, etc.) removed from piano beforehand
   6) Printed list of any known problems present on the piano
   7) Coffee available (but that led to a disaster with previous  
tuner, who spilled the whole cup on the white carpet).  At least it  
wasn't
       on/in the piano, and the carpet cleaner got it all out.
Twill be interesting to see if someone comes up with your requested  
whimsical handout!
Bill

LOL at the 10,000 parrots; my sister has 2, and they make lots of noise.
