Why were old piano keys black?

It was also suggested that the black keys on the piano made it difficult to detect the spaces between the keys. This, in turn, led to difficulty in telling the exact locations of the keys. By switching the colours, the black spaces became highly visible and playing became easier.

thepiano.sg - Piano's Black Keys Were White, and White Keys Were Black In The Past

Take, for example, the fortepiano that famous composer Mozart used in the 18th century. The instrument that Mozart used to write his late compositions till his death in 1791 had a mostly-black keyboard, with the white sharps standing out. While nobody knows the exact reason for the switch to today’s colour configuration, several theories have been presented. It was also suggested that the black keys on the piano made it difficult to detect the spaces between the keys. This, in turn, led to difficulty in telling the exact locations of the keys. By switching the colours, the black spaces became highly visible and playing became easier. Another suggested reason relates to the difference between the prices of ivory and wood. Due to its scarcity, ivory has always been dearer than wood. Since there are less black keys on a keyboard, switching the key colours meant using less ivory to make a piano and making it more affordable to composers and pianists. This may explain why some harpsichords had black naturals and white sharps. Today, nobody knows for sure why the keyboard’s colours have been reversed. There is no definitive record on this and the real reason is anybody’s guess. While we continue to ponder about this surprising change, it might be entertaining to think about Chopin's "Black Keys” Etude being played on a piano whose sharp/flat keys are white.
