The following equation gives the frequency f (Hz) of the n th key on the idealized standard piano with the 49th key tuned to A 4 at 440 Hz: f ( n ) = ( 2 12 ) n − 49 × 440 Hz = 2 n − 49 12 × 440 Hz {\displaystyle f(n)=\left({\sqrt[{12}]{2}}\,\right)^{n-49}\times 440\,{\text{Hz}}\,=2^{\frac {n-49}{12}}\times 440\,{\text{Hz}}\,}

May 6, 2014 · 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. f = 440 * 4 * 2 3/12 * 2 10/1200 = 2105.13 Hz.

Mar 8, 2020 · Since your piano was built in 1910, it was most likely designed to be tuned to either A4= 432hz or 435hz. 435 hz was the widely accepted standard of that time. It was not designed to handle the amount of tension 440hz would bring, which is the reason why the string broke when the tuner tuned it to 440.

PIANO KEYBOARD. 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.
