Not having a piano myself, and when thinking how playing 'fff' can
flatten a clarinet note (if you don't make some effort to compensate),
I've wondered whether a piano has a similar issue? Namely, does the
pitch of a 'high qualty' piano change even the least little bit
depending on how hard or fast or 'far down' you hit the keys?
