Market research answers hind sight questions, etc. Not that "build it and they will come" always works, but there are SO MANY examples of the market not knowing that they wanted something until it was offered. Well, I *DID* address the musical question first.īuilding at costs that are acceptable to wider audiences COULD encourage greater acceptance, use and composition for the greater range.Īs long as >88 is only available at Bosendorfer and Stuart prices very few of us will even try to play the limited repertoire and little more will be written. Most concert pianist play on pianos that have 88 keys both at home and in concert If we can think of only a couple of pianos that have more than 88 keys, that should be enough to satisfy the OP. Isn’t there a easy answer to the original poster? Over 99.9% of all music does not need more than 88 keys, and we can discuss only a handful. I don’t think the original question was about designing a piano. But since conservatory piano are standard 88-notes, it would have been weird that he has to practice on 88-notes pianos and perform on a bigger one (but still possible is this only affect one note, I suppose). I could ask him if he had a bigger piano than 88-notes. ![]() My tearcher played Jeux d'eau in concert. There are very few pieces using those notes, and if there are editions that remove them, you can still go around. ![]() ![]() I stay on my position though : considering this is posting in ABF, I don't see how not having those extra keys will be a problem for an amateur, hence more if beginner. That explain why I didn't see anything lower than last A. I went on IMSLP and took the first score to check. In fact, in Scarbo, a similar situation arises too - there are three bars in octaves in LH which should contain F double sharps and G sharps, but the lower notes are written as bottom A and A sharp as compromise for those who only have 88 keys.īTW, Ravel had an Erard which goes down to bottom G, and wrote for it. There is a low G sharp (below A) in Jeux d'eau, which in some editions have been altered to A, so that less-well-endowed pianists wouldn't feel deprived. So yes, definitely, I wouldn't be worried with an 88 keys piano. I went to check Jeux d'eau and a standard 88 keys is enough : you'll use the last, bottom note, but you don't need to go below that. I didn't know more than 88 notes was a thing for "regular" pianists. ![]()
