 Re: Tuning piano to B-flat

A piano would take days if not weeks to settle after such a drastic pitch change and involve several iterations of the tuning.
Then changing it back up to concert pitch again would be even more traumatic for the piano.

Of course if you don't want to transpose up a tone at sight (not the most onerous transposition) you could suggest instead the pianist sight reads it down a tone !!

Or as a democratic compromise you go up a semi tone and they go down a semi tone. Love to be a fly on the wall for that one.
