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).
May 6, 2014 · What are the true frequencies of the piano keys? Asked 10 years ago. Modified 1 year, 10 months ago. Viewed 11k times. 16. 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.

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.
A piano key has harmonic overtones at integer multiples of its fundamental frequency. Thus, the A0 key also produces a tone at 55.0 Hz, which is one octave higher than the fundamental frequency. The second overtone is at 82.5 Hz.
Sep 8, 2014 · Mathematically and scientifically, the higher note in every octave is exactly double the frequency in pitch, or “hertz.” Hertz measures sound vibrations in cycles per second.
