If the piano is miked, and somewhat isolated from the listener (via curtains, 
or baffle panels) then the signal can be run through an analog or digital 
delay line whose delay time is being modulated by a sine wave.  The resulting 
signal can then be amplified, and will be a piano sound with vibrato.  

Also, with the proliferation of sampling synthesizers these days, there are a 
number of excellent piano sounds available for the better machines.  It should 
be an easy matter to add vibrato to these sounds on a good programmable 
synthesizer.
