Part of the magic of the sound of an orchestra is the hability of the players to tune their instruments to get perfect harmonies on the fly by ear. Pianos nowadays are tuned with imperfect intervals (equal temperament) so while they can alternate passages of protagonism with the orchestra they may sound a bit out of tune in long shared passages. Same with guitars, harps etc.
