Piano acoustics are the physical properties of the piano that affect its sound. Piano is tough to get right. By the end of this guide, however, you’ll feel confident about getting your piano … For one thing, the piano is a visual instrument. The piano keyboard is the perfect tool for learning the ranges of various instruments. Note names, MIDI numbers and frequencies are related here in tables and via an application that converts them.

The strings of a piano vary in thickness, and therefore in mass per length, with bass strings thicker than treble. String length, mass and tension. See Frequency and Pitch for more details and an introduction to frequency and pitch. We can learn to picture the range of each instrument on the keyboard, as we will see soon. It is an area of study within musical acoustics.

Strings vary in length and thickness, so that many octaves can fit on one sounding board. This allows us to view other instruments’ smaller ranges in relation to it. Without that range, you lose the character of high notes (if you still have hearing in that range). Also, an 88-key piano has a huge range of more than 7 octaves. Typical PA amps handle 10KHz or so. Although the root frequency of the highest piano key, C8, is 4.2KHz, it has harmonics that go beyond the range of human hearing. It’s got the greatest range of any instrument, making it more complicated than most. The musical interval between two notes depends on the ratio of their frequencies. Higher is better, up to a point - 20KHz is higher than you'd ever need (unless you're performing for dogs).
