Nice find! That piano tuner needs a stern talking to, however.

Also on an old Melodiya LP, with Rumessen (p.) and the Estonian State SO, cond. Järvi.

Not that I can see. Rumessen btw was also the one who restored (completed?) the work in 1973 (though Tubin made an arrangement of this concerto/concertstück for 2 pianos in 1940 that's listed at the Tubin Society website, one of several arrangements Eduard Tubin made of works by Tobias...)- anyhow see EMIC (https://www.emic.ee/?sisu=heliloojad&mid=58&id=96&lang=eng&action=view&method=teosed). Two movements only were premiered in 1907.
