And it would likely qualify as a miracle if a block separating 
from the frame in any piano left any part of said piano sharp. 
Entropy is one way in this universe, nearly as I can tell.

I've seen a bunch of this sort of thing. What caused it? It's 
a mystery, but all subsequent trips to these mystery pianos 
after my initial visit showed normal and what I would call 
non-miraculous and predictable pitch variations from humidity 
changes.
