Good to see the issue has been solved. What I noticed in the mysqltuner output, 
is that you may want to enlarge your table_cache and open files limit before 
you run into problems there.

Yes, because MyISAM doesn't have a mechanism for keeping multiple concurrent 
consistent views on a table, SELECT also locks the table for writes. There is 
one important and occasionally useful exception, though: if there are no holes 
in the table (ie, if you haven't done any deletes) the engine will allow 
inserts to append to the table while selects are happening.
