A number of years ago Owen Jorgensen was demonstrating some temperaments at a regional conference and one of the pianos used (a console) wasn't cooperating. He commented that it had sounded correct before the demo. He then proceeded to lift one side of the keybed, and while holding it up, demonstrated the correct(ed) beat speeds.
