Best Answer

A piano has 88 keys to create an ensemble. Without so many keys, you wouldn't be able to play scales, chords, broken chords, or five fingered patterns. The piano is the most basic instrument. To recapitulate, when you press a key, a wooden board leads to a hammer which strikes a metal bar to produce the delightful sound.
