Also musing… Well, if the reason for the drop in pitch was the pins backing off, then cranking the pins back up would put the kinks back in their place, if the kinks were still where they were “originally”. But if the drop in pitch was due to the strings stretching and/or the crown decreasing… It’s just what I believe.
