Robin,
 
We have a pianoforte from the 1830's that is played at least four times a year.  We have it professionally tuned once a year.  It is never, ever moved -- the pianist pays it in situ.

What is the current thought on best practices for using (or not using) a collection item grand piano for a public performance? The piano is in great shape (other than being out of tune).

Thanks,

Robin
