How many musical tones are there?
There are 8 key tones, and their various sharps and flats. You could technically say there are an infinite number of tones, but the ones on a regular 80-key piano are pretty much the only ones the human ear can hear, excepting, of course, the few that are lower and higher than a piano's range, and the slight variations of every sharp and flat in existence.
Do fingers get elongated by playing piano?
No. There is no correlation between long fingers and playing the piano. There are many short fingered people who play the piano quite well.
What is the difference between tone and note?
Directly defined: Tone: quality or character of sound. Key: the relationship perceived between all tones in a given unit of music and a single tone or a keynote; tonality. Note: a sign or character used to represent a tone, its position and form indicating the pitch and duration of the tone. But basically, the relationship between them is that tones make up notes which make up keys. Tones are the sounds that we receive individually -- pitches, if you will. Notes are those pitches with names. When we actually divide them up into individual sounds that we name and can record. The keys on the piano or the strings of a violin, etc. Keys are when we put the notes together into a sequence. There are MANY different combinations that people have put together over the years, but basically it's a group of notes in a row.

Why do you think a piano can make so many sounds?
Because it has a lot of keys, which allows for varied tones.

What are piano songs by Mozart?
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart wrote many Piano Sonatas, Concertos, Duets, Trios, etc. There are probably anywhere between 200-300 piano pieces written by Mozart.
Do piano tuners listen to the beat frequency between their tuning fork and the wire they are tuning?
Yes, they do. When the tuning fork (or the more modern electronic tone generator) is providing a reference tone, the tuner will strike a key and listen for a beat frequency between the reference and the piano string. With wrench in hand, the person tuning the instrument will take a bit of tension off the string, and will then increase the tension to bring the piano string "up" and equal to the frequency of the reference. The beat frequency will disappear as the tones become equal in frequency. It is the practice of the individuals tuning a piano to always bring a string of the instrument "up" to the frequency of the reference rather than "detuning" the string to lower the pitch and match it with the reference. With a bit of practice and patience ('cause you can always detune the string and "start over" to get it spot on), you can generally do a pretty good job of tuning the piano, though the professionals have been doing it for many years. These experienced folks have a good "ear" for the beat frequencies. The electronic references are modestly priced now, thanks to 21st century electronics. Note that there are cool electronic tuning units that will "listen" to the beat frequency and indicate to you when it disappears and a match has occurred. Our ears are generally fairly sensitive to the difference in the frequencies of two tones. When the tones "beat" on one another because they are being generated simultaneously, the difference between them is usually fairly obvious. Oh, and you are listening to the interference frequency between the two tones, which is what the beat frequency is. Certainly it's a bit of a challenge to accurately tune a piano, but many folks are fairly capable of doing it and only need a modicum of practice. Leave that big Steinway or Yamaha to the experts, but if you've got an old upright, have a go!
How many tones are on an octave scale on the piano?
That depends on whether it's a conventional scale or a different type of scale like a pentatonic scale [which ironically has 3 tones]. Most scales, from Do to Do, have five tones. For those who don't learn notes as do, re and mi, I mean from C to C etc. Oh, and also, I'm not sure why you specified the piano, as scales are just notes, therefore playable on any instrument in the same way. Though admittedly, it's easier to work out if you know the layout of a keyboard. _____________________________________________________ I assume you are asking about a major or minor scale, but there are different types, and how many tones also depends on if you count the high note above with the same letter as the lowest note. In a traditional MAJOR SCALE (a.k.a. Ionian), there are seven different letter names (and usually an eighth note is added with the same letter name, an octave higher than the first). If you start on C, the major scale is C, D, E, F, G, A, B (and C for the eighth note). You can start on any note, but you will get different letters). A pentatonic scale has FIVE tones (if you start on C, then the notes are C, D, E, G, A.... and again C which would make 6 tones if you count the high note). There are many other scales, but this should answer your question. ______________________________________________________ If we speak about TONES (not notes), there are 12 semitones, that is 6 tones between for example C and C of a higher octave in a standard major scale.
