Not really, I've been on quite modest gigs where a grand has been used
- the last one being with Kit and the Widow in a marquee in someone's
back garden.


Last time I saw them they worked unaccompanied. So the pitch of the piano
wouldn't be critical. On other gigs it might well be.

But I couldn't imagine them or Hinge and Bracket (sadly missed) working to
an electric piano. Or Elton John. A proper piano is part of the experience.
