  2. Piano key frequencies - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piano_key_frequencies

    On an actual piano, the ratio between semitones is slightly larger, especially at the high and low ends, where string stiffness causes inharmonicity, i.e., the tendency for the harmonic makeup of each note to run sharp. To compensate for this, octaves are tuned slightly wide, stretched according to the inharmonic characteristics of each ...

  3. Octave - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Octave

    An octave is the interval between one musical pitch and another with double or half its frequency. For example, if one note has a frequency of 440 Hz, the note one octave above is at 880 Hz, and the note one octave below is at 220 Hz. The ratio of frequencies of two notes an octave apart is therefore 2:1.

    A "15" below indicates a two-octave shift. These numbers may also be used above the clef to indicate pitches one or two octaves higher. A treble clef with an eight below is the most common version, typically used in music for guitar or tenor voice. Sometimes a shift of one octave up is indicated by drawing two clefs instead of one. On a 5-line ...

The tones of the chromatic scale (unlike those of the major or minor scale) are all the same distance apart, one ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stretched_tuning

    If the interval is two octaves plus a fifth (the favored means of cross-checking the stretch of the upper treble of the piano), exactly matching the upper note to the sixth harmonic of the lowest requires great sophistication of octave stretch to make the lower individual octaves, its double and triple octaves, and their other intervallic ...
