In a word, no.

If gravity had anything to do with it, the pitch would have slid to 
the right, or sharp...

In solid geometry, three points in space define a plane. Since it is 
a grand and probably on three legs, the plate does not flex as the 
attitude (positioning) of the plane changes. No gravity or 
attitudinal effects on the plate; no pitch changes due to good drainage.

How large a window is it sitting in???
