Congrats. I bet you like it. Basics are the same as anywhere other than
the added problems of outdoor temp changes and the likely hood of MIDI
sequences or recorded accompaniment that is , of course, on pitch. You
won't have time to change pitch if the piano is out. Don't fret, it'll
change for you in the sun and the lights. %^) Rain is fun, too. Had
a bass player look at me one time when the wind blew the rain cover over
us and say, "Wow, this must be Spinal Tarp". ugh <br>
Be fast and confident. Now....<br>

Why? Gotta say, that bugs me. Maybe just me. I charge for any wasted
time, and touch-ups, etc. But... double? Did you have to rebook other
customers in order to accept this job?<br>
My answer to your question is "No". I don't believe that's
normal. Or justified.<br>
