Not only does jamming your thighs under the keybed help support the back, but the vibrations actually help me tune better. I feel like I'm more "in tune" with the piano, than when I stand up.

As far as the dress code, never shorts, and never a t-shirt, even here in the tropics. I wear slacks and an Aloha shirt, with sandals or shoes and socks.

I now wear jeans, ALL the time, nice dress shirts but I don't have to replace my pants so often or worry about staining them with the detris that invariably comes out of an action cavity along with the action.
I've seen techs wear t-shirts & shorts, I'm not that relaxed, just practical. If I'm likely to end up on someone's floor fixing or adjusting a pedal, I may as well dress for it.

Same dress code here. All of my old jeans have the thighs worn out from the under side of the keybed. I use that underside to help support my back while tuning.
