I mean, Billy Joel and Elton John still probably use real ones, but the Eagles have been using fake ones for decades now.

Aw, that's an illusion ruined, Homer! Seriously, it makes sense though, and good of them to go to the trouble as aesthetically, having Christine at at least
appear to be playing on a grand at the end of the show hits the right notes. It wouldn't have had quite the same emotional appeal otherwise.
