Action function on a tilted upright

[reggaepass at aol.com]

Hi List,

The issue is using a Disklavier upright as a prepared piano.  One is 
limited in the selection of usable preparations by virtue of the fact 
that gravity is working against them staying in place between the 
strings (in a vertical piano).  Someone is entertaining the notion of 
tilting the piano to horizontal (or as close to it as is workable) 
while still having the action function.

So I’m just wondering if someone who has experience with this can save 
me the trouble of finding out for myself.  My guess is that the action 
will not work in the horizontal position, and will work increasingly 
poorly the further from vertical it gets.

Anyone?
