Worried about increased tension? Labella DT Std.

So I'm accompanying piano for a Community Christmas concert. Our rehearsal space piano is 10 cents sharp. Do I need to worry about these flats cranking them up? I'm new to flats. Love them and would hate to ruin them. It just feels like the extra tension is enormous when twisting the tuners. No telling where the piano in the community hall is tuned.

Rounds wouldn't worry me but pricey LaBella's?

As long as your intonation is properly, just tune to the piano and you'll be fine.

If you're still worried about it, do a proper setup using A450.
