Btw, make sure that you are tuning the piano in advance of the concert that you are listed in. You don't want them to list you and then decide that the piano is "good enough for tonight". It represents your work so make sure it does adequately.

Perhaps I could ask for something like "Piano tuning services for tonight's program were provided by Paul Mulik Piano Service" to be printed on the back of the program.
