Well, all the dust is on top. If they were slowly rotating over time, would 
the undersides be whistle clean?  And the coils don't seem to have fewer 
turns on them. Wouldn't they have at about a 1/2 turn less if they had 
rotated enough for a perfect fourth?

The piano was in Southern Ontario. The climate was pretty awful for wood 
and glue preservation.

Actually, I have no idea if they un-turn or not.
