Piano key frequencies. 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 ). [1] [2] Every octave is made of twelve steps called semitones.
frequency a semitone up from A4 (A♯4), multiply 440 by the twelfth root of two. To go from A4 to B4 (up a whole tone, or two semitones), multiply 440 twice by the twelfth root of two. For other tuning schemes refer to musical tuning. This list of frequencies is for a theoretically ideal piano. On an actual piano the ratio between semitones is ...

May 6, 2014 · The figure in the Wikipedia article tells you what you are asking, if you're willing to tabulate the deviations by reading the green line.. The vertical axis is the number of cents that the key is tuned away from equal temperament, e.g. the C two octaves above A440 (C7) is about 10 cents sharp, i.e. the frequency is a factor of 2 10/1200 sharp, or the actual freuquency is

Initiate by playing the reference pitch (A4) on the piano and monitor the tuner’s display. If the middle A3 note does not align with the desired frequency, adjustments are in order. Utilize the tuning lever to manipulate the corresponding tuning pin. Turn it clockwise to elevate the pitch or counterclockwise to lower it.
The price of a routine tuning can vary between 100$ and 200$ ( in the US ). The time it takes to tune a grand piano or upright can take from 1.5 hours to several hours. If you are replacing the soundboard, you will need to tune the strings four times after putting them in. This takes between 10 and 20 days.
Piano tuning. Piano tuning is the process of adjusting the tension of the strings of an acoustic piano so that the musical intervals between strings are in tune. The meaning of the term 'in tune', in the context of piano tuning, is not simply a particular fixed set of pitches. Fine piano tuning requires an assessment of the vibration ...
Tuning Procedures and Temperament. 6. Tuning Procedures and Temperament ¶. Tuning consists of “setting the bearings” in an octave near middle C, and then “copying” this octave to all the other keys. You will need various harmonic tunings to set the bearings and only the middle string of each note in the “bearings octave” is ...
