Why does the pianos register include more than 7 octaves?
Arpeggionist
In fact, the reason that the piano has 88 keys (or more than 7 octaves) is because that's the range that was finalized by the American Steinway piano makers in the early 20th Century. Until then, the piano's register had been growing constantly from the original 5 octaves (49 keys, F through F) of Mozart's pianos to 5.5 octaves (56 keys, F to high C) in Beethoven's required register, to 6 octaves (61 keys, F to high F) which were called for by Schubert, to 7 octaves (85 keys, A through high A), which is what most composers of the greatest piano music would have been content with. The Steinway manufacturers figured the highest note on the piano ought to be C rather than A, so they extended the range with three more keys in the upper register. It was there that the range of the modern piano would be finalized. Older pianos with 85 keys are still in existence though, especially in Europe. The Bösendorfer piano makers still make their "Imperial Grand" pianos with 100 keys, extending the range to over 8 octaves, from low C to D above that of the modern Steinway. Few composers have ever actually written for such a register, and as the extra notes are simply not popular enough to merit their being included in the standard piano, they remain only on the Bösendorfer Imperial Grand.

Why did electric pianos replace acoustic pianos?
Actually electric pianos did not replace acoustic pianos. There are literally millions of acoustic pianos in the united states alone, and more being bought every week. I personally see about 1000 pianos a year because I work as a piano tuner/technician. Electric pianos do come in handy for traveling to gigs, but acoustic pianos are very much alive and well.

Corey Taylor's vocal Range I know it is around 7 but I want to know for an project?
(D1-)B♭1-E5(-C7) (I assume you mean octaves?) What this boils down to is 3 octaves plus six additional notes using "full voice". The notes in parentheses are his lowest note (using the vocal "fry" register), and his highest note (using falsetto/whistle). When including those registers, he has nearly 6 octaves of usable range, but these are not factored in when determining his true vocal range. (Keep in mind that these are simply the extremes of what he has hit over his entire recorded career. I would seriously doubt he has ever hit both of those notes in the same day) A vocal range featuring 3+ octaves of FULL voice is fairly rare. (Most classical/opera vocalists don't use any more than 2 and a half octaves) I'm also thinking that his vocal type is "low baritone"; essentially a baritone with a more powerful/extensive lower register, akin to a bass. (He may just be a standard baritone though) Hope this helps!

Christina aguilara's voice is how many octaves?
It has been said that Christina Aguilera has four octaves exactly. Other sources report that she has climbed out of that going even a little further such as four octaves and a half. She has a lower register. The belting register, the falsetto, and the whistle register. She hardly ever uses the whistle register notes as you can recall in some live performances or even recorded sessions. Some artist may have more octaves than Christina may have, but she has more power in the ones that she does have.

What are the three main categories of pianos, based on size and sound?
Pianos can be categorized into three main types based on their size and sound characteristics: **Grand Pianos**: Grand pianos are the largest and most prestigious type of piano. They are known for their exceptional sound quality and are often used in concert halls and by professional pianists. Grand pianos have a horizontal soundboard and strings, which allow for a more complex and resonant sound. They come in various sizes, from baby grands to concert grands, with longer pianos generally producing richer and more powerful tones. **Upright Pianos**: Upright pianos, also known as vertical pianos, are more compact and suitable for smaller spaces. Their soundboard and strings are positioned vertically, which results in a more compact sound. Upright pianos come in different sizes, from spinet pianos (the smallest) to upright grands, studio pianos, and full-size uprights. They are popular for home use and are often more affordable than grand pianos. **Digital Pianos**: Digital pianos are electronic instruments that aim to replicate the sound and feel of acoustic pianos. They come in various sizes, from compact and portable models to full-size, furniture-style digital pianos. Digital pianos use sampled piano sounds and can offer a wide range of additional features, such as built-in metronomes, various instrument sounds, and connectivity options. They are often chosen for their versatility, as they can be used with headphones and for recording, practice, or performance. These three categories encompass the primary types of pianos available, each catering to different needs and preferences based on space, budget, and musical requirements.
