There are three strings for every note in the middle and upper register of the piano, including middle C. As you go down, there are some with 2, and the lowest notes have one. Answer The above answer is, of course, correct for all practical purposes. If you want to get technical (to the point of being downright obnoxious) the answer is "two" for middle C. In this part of the piano register, no strings (wires) are cut and attached to the far end (the end of the wire opposite the tuning pins). Wires are looped around a hook and come back up to be connected to the next tuning pin. So for a three string note, two of the strings are in fact different ends of the same length of string. And yes, this means that one length of string will serve two different notes!
