The Pianos Seven Octaves.

Pianos of standard size have key
board Of seven octaves and three notes
-fftytwo white keys. There is a
reason for this limit AS it is, the
keys at either end of the keyboard are
rarely used, and the tones that can
now be produced, from the lowest to
the highest, include all that have any
definite musical value to the human
ear. If the compass Of the keyboard
were extended the added keys would
produce sounds or noises without any
musical significance. It is possible for
the human ear to perceive sounds over
a range of about eleven octaves, but
the production of musical sounds is
confined to the seven and one-third &C.
