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 similar between piano and violin?
they make many appearances in concerts and recitals
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.

How many tones of grey are there between black and white?
an infinite amount
How many tones equal to 1 unit?
There are 100 cents in a semitone, so there are 1200 cents in an octave. Since an octave is equal to doubling the frequency, there are 2 tones (whole steps) in an octave.

Is it possible for me to learn to play the piano on a keyboard?
Yes, it is possible to learn to play the piano on a keyboard. While there are some differences between a keyboard and a traditional piano, many of the skills and techniques can be transferred between the two instruments. With practice and dedication, you can develop your piano playing skills on a keyboard.

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!
