Hi, I would try to turn on the lights for at least 15 minutes ahead of time. Using one or two long strip mutes and a few rubber mutes to mute all of the outside strings of each unisons. put a string cover(or any thing you can find)to cover all of the strings completely,so the strings will be affected much by the air wending. Tune aurally without raising string cover(mute is not needed) Then raise the string cover and tune all unisons. > > The piano was 10 cents flat upon arrival.
