"I've never encountered a performance in which the piano had noticeably drifted out-of tune (aside from strings breaking completely)...... Most notes on a piano have multiple strings.... When a piano goes out of tune, one of a note's strings drifts "flat," creating a "vibrato" or "honky tonk" effect on the played note.... I don't know if Auto-Tune or other pitch correction software could even fix this, the note itself does not entirely go "flat.""
This was a unique situation. It was Venezuela, a very hot and humid environment and the piano had never been stored in a controlled environment.It was virtually dead on arrival. The piano tech spent four days practically rebuilding it. It simply could not stay in tune for long periods of time. All Steinway Ds drift pretty quickly regardless of their age or weathering. But they generally can hold their tuning for a few hours. This one could not consistantly do so. The solution was editing. 3 live performances, a taped rehersal and a patch session gave them the material needed to avoid any parts where the piano went out of tune.
I was not sure how they would address the issue. So I thought they might resort to adjusting the pitch in spots
