White Keys and Black Keys Laid Out in a Regular Arrangement
The piano is a musical instrument that produces sound when its keys are pressed.
As shown in the diagram, the piano keyboard layout consists of a regular arrangement of white keys and black keys. Pressing a key causes a certain note to be produced. In the diagram, the white keys are labeled with their names in the musical alphabet and with their tonic names.
