Piano

I'm still learning it, on the low side of the piano piano, it goes like: A B C D E... A DE, B A, (This part is pretty fast) A B C (fast part over) , B C , D F E....that all I know but I'm learning from this vid: www.dailymotion.com/video/xeas1c_how-to-play-mary-did-you-know-on-th_music#.UMqIJHd0g_w copy and paste in url or click it. It's very good! Usually the letters come printed on an edge of the piano. Hope it go good! It's a VERY good song! VERY good choice! XD ( D

The Wissner Piano Company (also known as Wissner & Sons) was established by Otto Wissner and his sons, William and Otto, Jr. in 1878. Their factories were located in Brooklyn, New York. Wissner is one of the lesser-known American piano manufacturers who built superb pianos of the highest quality and construction, but because of poor marketing, never achieved the world wide recognition they deserved. Their pianos were some of the finest, most expensive pianos money could buy. In addition to building pianos under the Wissner and Wissner & Sons brand names, the firm built pianos under the brand names of Leckerling, Reinhard, and Putnam. In the early 20th Century the firm was controlled by the Jansen Piano Company. The Wissner Company went out of business in about 1942 with the onset of World War 2.

Alpheus Babcock of Boston (USA) in 1825

A percussion instrument is struck, so any instrument that is NOT struck is NOT a percussion instrument, for example,

Strings: violin, cello, double bass.

Brass: trumpet, cornet, trombone

Woodwind: oboe, piccolo, saxophone

To determine the age of a Kohler and Campbell upright piano with a serial number of 803151, it would be best to contact Kohler and Campbell directly. The company is located in Gallatin, Tennessee and their phone number is (615) 206-0077.

No one can be named as the world's greatest pianist. However there are experts in this field. Some of them are David Lanz, Pascal Roge, David Helfgott etc.

The Organ and the keyboard, but other than that there are also other instruments that are Chordophones that belong to the percussion family. like the Hammered dulcimer, Cimbalom, Onavillu, Berimbau, Jhallari, Celesta.

Practice! It is the only way. Yes, it can be very boring, but the more you do the better you get and the more fun it becomes. There are games that are available that make learning a fun process, for example Fast Keys drastically improves your note recognition quickly, and it's free. You can play it at: http://martypapa.blogspot.com/2009/06/fast-keys.html If you are asking what the most efficient way to "sightread" piano is, the only acceptable way in my opinion is to learn piano, practice the music and eventually you will notice patterns and they will become familiar to you. Many people I know who can sightread piano have just taken piano lessons for a long period of time. There are other methods I've heard of that are supposedly quicker, but fast isn't always better. Seeing as I haven't invested in such projects, I would not recommend them. Sing the rhythems....then find the hand positions...and lastly check for black notes and chords. =answer= try to distinguish the middle c, first of all. then, try to slowly find other spots, such as d and e. memorize the first few notes on the music, and continuously practice. in the first few months or years, you might have some trouble reading all the notes quickly, and you might have to pause and count the spaces from the key you are playing now and the note you are trying to read, and figure out the place on the keyboard. have patience. i learned to sight read rapidly when i was nine, and it took me two years to gain that speed, and i started the piano when i was seven. you can do it! Practice hard, like me, and you might even be able to read an entire movement of a Mozart Sonata in fifteen minutes (like me, currently 12) If you already have some skill at practicing and playing piano, and want to improve your sight-reading skills: This becomes harder to do as you grow older. (The best way to learn sight-reading is to start early.) For adults, my experience is the best way to improve sight-reading is to simply do a lot of it. -Look at the music before-hand to familiarize yourself with the tempo, key and rhythm. -Try to imagine how it sounds in your head before you begin. -Be patient. -Go as slow as you must to get the notes right, and keep the rhythm steady. -Always try to look ahead for what's coming next. Look over the bar line to the next measure. -Keep going. Don't stop. If you make an error, don't go back. Don't speed up faster than you can get it right. -The speed will come with time. There are no short-cuts, just invest a lot of time. Good luck.

Depending on which you are referring to, they could be either "keys" (black and white mechanical levers one depresses to create sound) or "pedals" (metal levers at the base of the instrument, depressed with one's feet to modify the sound made by the keys). Often songs played on pianos are called pieces as well.

you could call it tonic

The exact origins of why there were a certain number of keys on a piano are unknown. What we do know from history is that the piano in the US consisted of 88 keys after 1885. The generally accepted number of piano keys is as follows: * 1700-1765 5 Octaves (5 x 12 = 60 keys) * 1765-1794 5 Octaves plus a 4th * 1794-1804 6 Octaves (6 x 12 = 72 keys) * 1804-1824 6 Octaves plus a 4th * 1824-1880 7 Octaves (7 x 12 = 84 keys) * 1880-Present 7 Octaves plus a 4th What we do know is that the piano, with 88 keys, is capable of reproducing the entire multiple octave spectrum of instruments used in an orchestra or band. Interesting to note that the Bosendorfer 9' 6" Concert Grand has 97 keys. The extra keys are at the bottom of the keyboard, extending from low A down to a growling really low C. As far as we know, there is no piano literature written that includes any played notes beyond the lowest A on a standard 88 key piano.

Pianos are like automobiles, in many respects, you can buy one with plenty of options, or buy a stripped version, they cost about the same, they require tunings and service, they can be purchased over a long period of time on payments, and people trade them in for new ones, not as much because they are worn out, but because they want a larger piano or want to change furniture styles after a few years. LISTEN TO THE PIANO - NOT THE SALESMAN The instrument which you choose for your home should bear a name that indicates its enduring qualities of tone and stability. The trademark on the fall board alone should be your assurance of its distinction and musicianship and its enduring qualities of tone and stability. Each piano has a character all its own. This pedigree that sets it apart even from other instruments of the same make, model, and style is inevitable. No two trees ever grow exactly alike. Grain and densities differ between different species and between individual trees of the same species. Plastics and other materials used in keys differ in color. Wool from which hammer and damper felts when made vary in texture and length of fiber. Such variations are present in all materials from which pianos are made.

The notes respective to those keys are sharps or flats, depending on the key signature of what you are playing. For example, the black key between the C and D white keys is either a C sharp or a D flat depending on what the key signature includes.

The immediate forerunners of the piano were the harpsichord and the clavichord.

The harpsichord mechanism draws a quill past a string in a plucking action, like a lute. As the key is released, a moveable damper returns to contact the string and mute it.


The clavichord has fixed dampers. The mechanism brings a metal tangent against the string to both strike it and act as a bridge to give it definite pitch.


The forte piano combined the striking action with the moveable damper and added other refinements to improve dynamic range and stability of pitch.

Piano is short for pianissimo. To play piano means to play softly.

Prince William, among others, plays the piano.

We need more info here. Is it and upright 50"...Studio 48"... console/spinet 42"?

The console/spinet category is important as the action style will make a difference.

the reason sound vibrates is because of tuning if their are two instruments playing t the same time their sound waves hit eachother creating a faster wave length which makes it sound like the sound is vibrating.
