Hi Mike,

Has anyone answered this one?

How long a concert?  My feet and legs used to freeze each year when I tuned
(an hour or less) for one of those High School "All State"conventions and
the piano was brought into a "temporary flooring over ice" arena.  I'd think
for the pianist's comfort (and yours), a stage or platform would be helpful.

Spot light on ice, hey?  Whew!  Guy Nichols has studied stuff like this a
lot and *might* have a formula for you to help figure stability.........
