It could end up being tried as being both the piano maker’s and player’s fault. The former for making and selling it, the latter for buying and using it. Just

The former for making and selling it, the latter for buying and using it.
Just like counterfeit goods.

But if they knew the song was copyrighted and not legally licensed by the piano manufacturer, and they assembled a bunch of friends to listen to the songs, or resold them for money, then yeah perhaps. Most importantly in context, though, the piano will almost certainly not be fined or taken to court. ;)
