incorrect
The notes of a piano are tuned using a unique method (stretched tuning), which makes upper-range notes slightly higher in
pitch, and lower-range notes slightly lower in pitch. For this reason, you might perceive the pitch as being incorrect, but this is the
way an acoustic piano should sound.
