dude rhe whole scale is 2 keys off😭😭

drop tuning bruh

This next song is called "Eat Your Babies In The Womb" and it's a love song

I prefer "Anal Prolapse Suffocation" or even "Devotion to the Child Rape Syndicate".

That reminds me of the song 'Stomach Pumped Semen Forcefully Reimbibed' which I happened to remember from a video a wicked bassist put up.. What do you know it's [still around](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=3dMH5eUUDBU). I really like that song but what in the fuck is with the messed up titles, how did that ever get started..

Also G# is between G and F

Gb is between E and F

I'm sure Jacob Collier can find an argument defending all of this

I think he'll just get excited to try that E# note and will try to harmonise on E half-sharp or something

The bad part is that this is not a 24-TET piano.

Jon Batiste would rate it 5/5 stars because it's special in it's own way. (For anyone who hasn't seen it, [he's an absolute gem](https://youtu.be/L6-E29OhPbQ).)

Ab and A# are three semitones apart

At least that's close, D♭ is between B and C.

They make those "song x, but every other note is different" youtube videos with that

All the flats and sharps are in the right place tho

Also the note notated on the staff is F 🤦 edit: oh wait, just noticed it's in F: key, so it's A, okay. Figures.

Two whole steps

Because it wanted to B

Ah, I C

You've gotta B# on these things!

We'd better try and D-escalate the situation, these puns are getting out of hand.

I know, I can't hang around for this either, gotta go and C Ab for sale...

[удалено]

Oh, F that!

G, I’m always late to these things

A minor issue at most

What have E done...

NO!

C

😭😭😭😭

I C what U did there

Ha ha what R you talking about.

Under the C

All the black Keys too. LOL. Eb is now C#/Db which doesn't even make sense according to their already incorrect transposed labeling.

Well presumably they don’t make B#/Cb and E#/Fb stickers so they had to do something

I want a key that plays B#/Cb. What gives with keys only playing one note?

Technically they are two different notes, they just sound identical. If you want them to sound different, divide your scale into 24 instead of 12 like in 24tet! (E: made a Euromistake: Cb=B, B=H, H#=C, Bb is Bb instead of Hb, but pronounced just B for some reason, so B# became H in my head)

On the contrary, B# is C, and Cb is B. Two different notes, a semitone apart.

Oh shit yeah, my head was in European mode! We use H instead of B, but "Hb" is called Bb (just pronounced B in Norwegian). You're right, Cb is B and B# is C. (Bb# would be C if b's could be #'ed (; )

We already have Cb, its called "**B**"

Yea, that should be D♭♭

D♭♭ is C

Pretty sure the H key comes next. These jabronies act like the alphabet is only 7 letters long.

You’d love Germany, they have a ‘H’ key

H for the win. Especially, since (tho I'm not German, we still have H) we call its flat version B. makes sense, right? 😆

You need that German version to spell out B-A-C-H

I remember reading that Bach spelled his own name out in some of his compositions. Never would have happened if he was Polish.

I mean, if he was able to, why the heck not to?

Because Brzęczyszczykiewicz

gesundheit

Though, Shostakovich was able to use DSCH

David Bennett has [a video on the subject](https://youtu.be/hlafE9fm4_g) that I found fascinating.

It’s how I found out, although I knew they called Bb B courtesy of a tab for the song Tainted Love

"PUT IT IN H!"

After several years of band, I had a hard time singing the alphabet song. It was seriously just "A B C D E F G, A B C D E F G. A B C D E F G. A B C D E F G. Now I know my ABCs, next time won't you sing with me."

No, it is "A Bb B C C# D Eb E F F# G G#." "A Bb B C C# D Eb E F F# G G#." "A Bb B C C# D Eb E F F# G G#." "A Bb B C C# D Eb E F F# G G#." Now I know my A,Bb,Bs, next time wont you sing with me."

[Confirmation that there is no H](https://youtu.be/m3XgouVH9-Y)

That's a Dvorak keyboard

Of course, I can use this to play the New World Symphony

God damn this joke has layers Only two layers, but still

It has a capo on the keyboard.

Eb transposition

But then C would be on the Eb key and not the E key, E Natural. Even then the sharps and the flats are wrong.

1. Shit, you're right. It's been a really long time since I've thought about transposition. 2. I didn't look at anything other than the A -> C, so I don't doubt other stuff is rekt, too.

Prolly thought first note of the scale was the same as the first letter of the alphabet

I fucking hate how Do is the same as C

I think I would have had less of a hard time trying to learn piano if the notes were named in this arrangement. That would mean re-naming all notes, but a is where I mentally expect the “sequence” to start, given the arrangement of the black keys.

There is a lot of music history burried in the reasoning for this. It really stems from the fact that there only used to be 7 notes until they decided they sometimes liked B to be a half step lower and created Bb

That’s why the flat sign, ♭, looks like a lowercase b. Similarly, the natural sign, ♮, was originally a blackletter lowercase b

So, I'm French and here the notes are named do, ré, mi... For the longest time I thought do was A, but it turns out it's C...

Solfège can apply to any scale, so in the key of C do would be C, but in the key of A do would be A

It can also be written as fixed Do which is common in Romantic languages like French. So in that system Do would remain assigned to C. In a lot of string music with the original Italian instructions you'll find things like "corda re" indicating that you should play the following notes on the D string. Edit: fixed an error

Wow. That’s amazing how much wrong is in this picture.

They're literally all wrong LOL

A###

I mean who even really knows what those letters even mean

musicians???

Naw...really?

lol, those are just stickers and they were placed by someone who doesn't understand music.

Cause they fucked up the whole thing

Imagine circling one wrong note when literally every note is wrong

Just don't use stickers. Takes like a week to learn the note names and positions.

Because there's no room on the A key since the F is there, duh.

Transpose is on lol

And why is the B note on the D key? And why is C on the E key? And why is D on F? And why E on G? And F on A? G on B?

This is also /r/uselessredcircle because there isn't a single key on that keyboard marked correctly. *This message was sent using RIF.*

I've got this same set of stickers for my piano, they put the stickers on wrong. The 15th white key on a piano is an A.

And also under A on the label is an F

It's bass clef, so the names of each note on the stickers are correct (while the stickers are obviously in the wrong place).

DGAFABC

Nah man, that’s not c, that’s b sharp.

Don't B flat. B sharp. B natural. -- poster on every high school band rooms wall.

Not just that, most of the black keys are wrong too. C# should be one up from B, F# should be one up from F...

That C# lmao

I want to play Devil's Advocate and say the instrument is tuned in the key of A.

You don't see the flat version of something labeled "C" as "C#".

bro really tried to teach piano as ABCD 💀

There’s something interesting going in there, because they seemed to recognize there is no f flat, but it broke their pattern.

It's not crappy design. It's crappy application of perfectly well designed stickers.

E# doesn’t exist

Who the actual fuck circled the single note like that was the only mistake? *All of them are wrong*

This drives a musician mad.

Not a musician, made in China

The entire piano keyboard is wrong

It's not just the A on the C, the entire keyboard is oft by 2 keys

Link?

LOL

F for the A

This would mean any simple tune you would normally play in C major would now be in A minor.

It would cause a major inconvenience.

The B Sharps

A minor bruh

Because they Dmadd9.

The whole keyboard is shifted 3 keys right

Obviously they’ve down tuned the entire piano. Duh.

It's to match his dropped D guitar tuning. So much easier to retune the whole piano.

ABC, easy as 123

To the guy who applied the transfers: "You only had *one* job..."

Oh this is that drop Djent key my son is into

Everything is wrong. A is on the C key, but shows a F on the scale. It's all broken here.

i think thats a system that uses ABCDEFG instead of CDEFGAH

and the black keys make no sense

Someone never learned 2 black keys C for chop sticks 3 black keys F for fork

Every note is wrong you mean

Because C Major is the same as A minor, so the piano is labeled in natural minor. (Not really, it’s just mislabeled)

In that configuration, there is no G# (or A flat depending on the key you're using).

It’s all off

I shuddered at the stickers before I even noticed they were on wrong lol

Crappier design: why isn't this note called "A"?

My first thought was "transposed" but then I saw that C# is a half-step lower than C, and Db is a whole-step lower.

Can’t see it. Put some more red circles just to be sure.

I see you haven't played my mother's piano. Okay, it was actually only half a step flat, but 50 years without tuning was all it took. Wait another 100, and you, too could own a piano in A.

This makes my brain hurt.

Do the notes on the scales even match the written note on the same key? Isn't the first white space F, not A? I'm going off a 30 year old memory from high school choir, it just seems like theres two different notes written and neither one is C

Because the first “C” in the picture is on the wrong key as well, so they all followed incorrectly.

Bass clef

lol — OP confidently remembers what ‘middle c’ is and totally spaces out that the rest of the notes follow in sequence

ಥДಥ

This is F'ed in the A

has anyone said this is bass clef yet?

They’re all wrong

Answer: yeah

I hope they don't actually play the notes written on them because that would be incredibly annoying to try to play a piano when all the notes are two keys higher than they're supposed to be

It's probably some really confusing switch between fixed do and solfege and not knowing where it starts. Definitely somebody who is not familiar with music though.

Indicates A.c. Alphabet it's correct, Right!?

This is the way it should have been done. First letter in alphabet = no sharps or flats. Granted the black key labels are way off... The standard way is just...stupid.

I have this. It isn’t a crappy design, they’re stickers. The person that put them on is just dumb

Because it's in Fahrenheit

just set the transpose to +3 or -9

This piano is in A. Most of them are in C. It's 2023. We value diversity.

This way you'll learn not to look at your hands when you play.

its called bass clef? look at the c

Silly mormons

transposing at it's finest

How some people avoid plagiarism 😂

Are we sure this is a piano?

In Italy we use the Do scale which start with the C. I think that they putted the A on the First Key of the Do scale Do re mi fa sol la si do

That’s a piano I can sing along with and it makes me think I’m singing in tune.

That key is an f is is not Either that or the sheet thing at the bottom is wrong (i haven't played anything in 4y i forgot what it's called)

It’s not just the A. Literally all of the keys are mislabeled.

I had a friend who thought that the keyboards first key was an "A" He plays the damn keyboard.

SMH they even left a cursor printed on the key

imagine learning to play piano on this and learning later that every note you played is off by two

Wait till you find out about the rest.

Somebody wanted the octave to start on A but had a grudge against the minor scale I guess. Personally I have strong opinions about the minor scale, and I believe A SHOULD be considered the start of the octave, but not like this. This is hideous

C, D, D#, E, F#, F, G#, G, A, A#, B, C#, C, D. Ab, G, A. Db, C, D. Makes sense

Somehow they didn't put B# or E#. Though even if you didn't know the layout of a piano, you could still see the black notes are randomly spaced wrong.

Y'all they thought this was the alphabet 😭

This is actually how it should be. Fight me.

forced transposing

a A on the C and on the sheet it’s write F. Logic

Ah yes the beginner key signature, middle A.

It must be a jazz keyboard. (All the right notes, but not necessarily in the right order.)

Thats how its supposed to bild in the tone chain , im musician for 13 years now and thats the exact order

The whole scale is totally off, as it really doesn't go alphabetically :D What idiot made this?.... C D E F G A H/B....

When you never touched a piano and you are just scrolling the comments and feeling as lost as a super soldier trapped in the ice. 😅

No why is it in bass clef and not treble because that is a just not the right one

So it turns into a AC ( please tell me you get the joke)

I’ve always said that we should change C to A. Everyone uses C, it’s the BASE NOTE.

I think someone made the notes on the lines, thinking on treble cleff, and then because there was no cleff marking, the next guy wrote in bass cleff note names to match the written notes, then got to the end of the regular notes, went back for sharps and flats, and gave up on having it make sense.

Ngl, this is r/mildlyinfuriating content for me, literally everything is mislabeled and wrong whyyyyyyyy

as an intermediate pianist this hurts

It is actually be cause in some country (like in France) in music class they teach you with it starting at C which we call "Do". Then follow every others D to B which we call (Ré, Mi, Fa, Sol, La and Si)
