Facts about pianos....

Although there are only 88 keys, a piano has over 200 strings--one per note in the low bass, two per note in the upper bass, and three per note in the treble.

Tension averages approximately 160 lbs. per string.

All together, the strings are stretched to a tension of 18 to 20 tons (close to 30 tons in a concert grand).

The strings gradually increase in thickness and length from treble to bass, and bass strings are wrapped with copper (older pianos may have steel wrapped bass strings) to make them produce a lower pitch.

Pianos range in weight from about 300 lbs for a small spinet to almost 1000 lbs. for a concert grand.

There are 8000 -10000 moving parts in a piano.

A piano should be regulated every 5 - 10 years.

Piano strings should be replaced usually every 25 - 35 years.
