Brian purchased the piano that was used during the 2014/2015 tour. This piano that is up for auction is a different piano.

So maybe the one that sold this time was an actual acoustic piano, as per the description of that model on the Yamaha website. If it was just used to plonk out some Songbird chords alone while she sang over the top of them, they might have managed with a minimum of tuning. Especially given the whole history of the original Songbird being recorded live on a grand. The one in The Dance video looks acoustic, or at least doesn't seem to show any digital controls. Maybe that is the Yamaha in question?

Maybe? Who knows? I always thought it was odd that The Eagles let the digital display be shown on camera. It kind of lessens the value of the music, doesn't it?

Not really. But I'd still prefer to see real pianos, and real B-3 organs, and NO KARAOKE TRACKS. But this ain't 1985 no mo...
