For probably 20 years now, nearly all grand pianos you see at a concert are just "a keyboard", sitting inside a grand piano case. Daily tuning of a real grand was too time consuming, AND, the crew couldn't make much noise while the piano tech took an hour or more to tune it. And keyboard sounds got good enough that the difference was negligible.

I mean, Billy Joel and Elton John still probably use real ones, but the Eagles have been using fake ones for decades now.
