Piano scale showing the frequencies to which the keys are usually tuned, which is to a slightly different pitch from that used by physicists, based on Middle C = 256 c/s., and such scales are apt to be misleading. Frequencies of black keys Can be obtained by multiplying the frequency of the white key below it by 1.05946. This scale is useful for the approximate calibration of oscillators and rough determination of resonant frequencies, etc.
