Can you find MIDDLE C on a PIANO?

Can you find Middle C on a piano keyboard?

No cheating please!

Yes

No

I have no idea what you're talking about

[andreasderjuengere]

Yepp: It's in the middle between the outer C's :D
It is white.
Right of it there's a group of 3 black long-ish things. To the left there's only two.
Much of the time the C's and their other companions are hidden under a lid with no further practical function than to keep the cat off the music.
The straight end where the cat-lid is, is opposite of the curved end.

[HighlyVolatile]

Yes but not instantly. I'm used to small MIDI keyboards without as many octaves so I'd have to count the 4th C from the left like so:

[andreasderjuengere]

Why not just paint them in -say- flare red? Piano's are impractical :D

[HighlyVolatile]

@andreasderjuengere I actually used to put stickers on the A keys when I started as a boy! I favored A minor over C major starting out.

[HighlyVolatile]

@andreasderjuengere I also constantly transpose when I record music since I find it tricky to hit the black keys. :-D So I'd generally transpose so that I can use only or mostly the white keys.

[Secret6620]

Yes, I can!

I learned to play the piano in high school. My recitals were always challenging and fun. 🎹

[Secret6620]

Yay! Thank you for most helpful girl!

[Yucy_Gluttony]

YAS At the words on the piano, on the left? fourth C!

[zeitgeist057]

That's how I always knew as a kid, it was under the printed name of the piano.

[Yucy_Gluttony]

@zeitgeist057 Best cheat sheet ever! But it only works for one question

[zeitgeist057]

Two questions.

"Where is middle C?"
"What kind of piano is that?"

[Yucy_Gluttony]

@zeitgeist057 1 same as what I said, two no idea which one that this :D

[zeitgeist057]

I watched the video on your profile.. it was great, then I tried this one:

[Yucy_Gluttony]

@zeitgeist057 O I must update the video pretty soon then!

[Yucy_Gluttony]

he's got a good voice!

[zeitgeist057]

Yeah I love it. Cute cat too. Have you heard https://youtu.be/LFMyWPcdWY0
?

[Yucy_Gluttony]

@zeitgeist057 I have yes!

[Dontaaaa]

I find this answer somewhat convenient because I recently bought a piano keyboard.

Knowing where middle c is was the first thing I learned and from what I can tell it should be the very first thing you learn.

[NathanDavis]

all I know is that C's are the ones on the left side of the ~sets of two black keys~

[HighValue]

I can. I have my own keyboard. I can read music, though I am a little slow at it. Some day I will have the time to actually practice and learn normal songs instead of the cheap beginner ones.

[Sour-rose]

You know, I tried instruments... only one I know is my ocarina.

Learning languages is my thing.

[MrOracle]

Yes, but I am a musician and I taught myself piano (I'm decent but far from great) and synthesizers, so it's kind of a given.

[Apulu_Imback]

Yes, I'm a piano player and I can find the middle C easily in few seconds.

[purplepoppy]

Yes but I haven't played one since I was at school. I assume it's still in the same place

[zeitgeist057]

They're still putting it in the middle, just like on the older models.

[purplepoppy]

You could always find it at school because it was the stick dirty one

[Fireguy17]

I've played the piano since I was a little kid.
Don't play much anymore.

[douride2]

I have an idea what your talking about but I couldn't find it to save my life.

[Echosoul]

I can guess but I haven't had piano lessons since I was a young child.

[Creampiekarl420]

I can’t tell you how but I can like if I’m infront of one

[DonkeyDan]

Yes, I play the piano, although it's been some years since I last played.

[Jltakk]

Yeah, I could find it on 61, 49 and 88 midi keyboard if that counts.

[MrOracle]

Hell, I can even move it around on my keyboards! I can even make it a black key instead of a white one! The "transpose" feature comes in handy sometimes!

[HormoneGuy]

Easy trick: Its generally under the logo; and if the logo is off set, its the fourth C key.

[FunkyMonkee]

Sure can! I'm a drummer!

[exitseven]

No, I do not know where it is.

[HeartFullOfGlue]

I mean I play the piano so I better know

[zeitgeist057]

If you forget, it's in the middle area.

[HeartFullOfGlue]

@zeitgeist057 Thanks dude

[Pudsmucker]

I could care less for metal c is on the piano.

[clemdenim]

Did you hide it

[ArrowheadSW]

Yes for sure!

[jimmy2]

No way lol

[EnglishEuropean]

Eventually, yeah.
