This is a list of the fundamental frequencies in hertz (cycles per second) of the keys of a modern 88-key standard or 108-key extended piano in twelve-tone equal temperament, with the 49th key, the fifth A (called A 4), tuned to 440 Hz (referred to as A440).
Jan 8, 2024 · Knowing the ranges that instruments and voices occupy in the frequency spectrum is essential for any mixing engineer. Sweetwater has put together a Music Instrument Frequency Cheatsheet, listing common sources and their “magic frequencies” — boost/cut points that will produce pleasing results.
May 6, 2014 · In theory it is easy, to get the frequency of the note other than A4=440Hz you just multiply/divide 440Hz by the proper number. For example, to get A2, you divide by 4 and get A2=110Hz.
This is a virtual keyboard showing the absolute frequencies in hertz (cycles per second) of the notes on a modern piano (typically containing 88 keys) in twelve-tone equal temperament, with the 49th key, the fifth A (called A4), tuned to 440 Hz (referred to as A440). Each successive pitch is derived by multiplying (ascending) or dividing

The human hearing range is between 20 Hz and 20,000 Hz. The lowest frequency on a piano is 27.5 Hz, which is almost at the start of the human hearing range. However, the highest frequency on a pian...
The piano has 88 keys which span the frequency range 27.5 Hz (A0) to 4186 Hz (C8). The strings are sounded by hammer mechanisms which are activated by the keys. The relatively soft hammer structure, fashioned from pressurized wool, gives a dramatic attack to the tone without sounding harsh.
The number beside each key is the fundamental frequency in units of cycles per seconds, or Hertz. OCTAVES. For example, the A4 key has a frequency of 440 Hz. Note that A5 has a frequency of 880 Hz. The A5 key is thus one octave higher than A4 since it has twice the frequency. OVERTONES. An overtone is a higher natural frequency for a given string.
