How many C's are on a piano?

eight C's Find Middle C on a Standard Piano (88 Keys) A keyboard with 88 keys has a total of eight C's; middle C is the fourth C from the left. The very first note on an 88-key is an A (A0). The last key is a C (C8).

It’s normal to be confused about middle C’s location, especially on keyboards with fewer than 88 keys. Musical keyboards come in four standard sizes. The following illustrations point out middle C (also called “C4”) on each size. If you’re unsure about the size of your keyboard, you can simply count both its naturals and accidentals. You can also find your keyboard’s size by counting the total number of C’s: 88-key —You will count eight C’s (including the very last key on the board) —You will count eight (including the very last key on the board) 76-key —Has six C’s

—Has six 61-key —Has six C’s (including the very last key)

—Has six (including the very last key) 49-key—Has five C’s (including the very last key) Consult the Illustrated Middle C Guides for a visual example of C4 on each of the above keyboard sizes.
