It should be tuned to 444Hz. Slightly higher than the perfect 440.

This is what professional orchestras tune into.

In fact, the whole orchestra tunes to 444Hz when a piano soloist is going to play. It does make the difference in sound!

What is a dead piano key and how easier is it to repair?

A dead piano key is when a key on the piano won't play: something in the mechanism is not transferring the force from the key press to the hammer. It could be an easy fix or could be a difficult fix. It could be as simple as a missing hammer or as complex as regulation. If you get the piano tuned, the tuner should be able to fix the regulation. I only know uprights and cannot say for a grand piano. But in an upright there are a few regulation screws that when you turn the right ways you can regulate the piano yourself. There is one screw (Capstan) on the key lever itself that may need to be adjusted up to push the hammer into the string. or it could be the regulation on the Jack (letoff) that needs to be brought down, thus pushing the hammer up sooner. Remember there are thousands of pieces in the piano and just one piece being out of whack can throw the one key out of commission.

What or who would be able to describe the details of how a piano works?

Pianos are a percussion instrument with strings. Inside the piano are dozens of wires or "strings", the number varies with each piano. These strings are tightened to a specific point, or "tuned". When a key on the piano is pressed, it swings a small wooden hammer with a metallic striking surface inside the piano. These hammers strike the strings, which causes them to vibrate, creating the sound.
