Give em an inverted EBVT and then go fishing.  And have fun... No seriously... take your handy dandy SAT or what have you and whip out your best tuning and go home.  Simple !

What can you do with 96.8 % humidity and 94 degrees climate ? Pianos dont belong down there :)

I have tuned at only one outdoor concert before and it was horrible from a tuning perspective as the sun kept popping out and beating directly down on the piano interior during the tuning. I hope this one is at least in the shade (who knows, maybe we'll even have one of our Florida evening thunder storms between the tuning and the concert - or better yet, during the tuning)!
