What's the best way to apply a detuned effect to a piano (audio or midi)?

Hi, what's the best way to apply a detuned effect to a piano (audio or midi)? I was trying to add the detune effect to a piano to make it sound warmer and old fashioned, any suggestion?
Thanks

You could insert the *Pitch ShiftII* plugin; set the algorythm to Vocal, the detune between 5-20 cents and the mix between 20-50 %.

Are you looking for a Honky Tonky Piano effect?

you need two istances of the same piano (exs24 Logic patch are great)

use fine detune (pitch) only one of the two piano istances.

Yes, I need a sort of effect, not a software instrument. Where can I find the "fine detune" tool you're talking about? Inside EXS24?
Thanks
