Assuming that the keys extend the same amount to the hidden part there would be 14+ octaves. If the frequency of the bottom A is 27.5 Hz., then the top of the instrument would be somewhere in the vicinity of >>>500kHz<<<!!! Your car radio might "hear" that, but you wouldn't. To keep the pitch within the human hearing range, it would have to be microtonal. Conrad Hoffsommer, RPT, MPT, CCT, PFP, ACS, CRS.
