β | :A grand piano for a six-foot person tuned to concert pitch has the note A4 at 440Hz; a grand piano for a twelve-inch pianist will have six times shorter strings and play a note six times higher, so 2640Hz, or 2 7/12 of an octave higher, and would be an E7 several notes higher than the maximum extent of a standard piano. A skilled micropianist should be able to transpose the notes back to their original note, if off by 2/3 octaves. Imagine all but the lowest notes of the piano being higher than the highest note of an actual piano. Otherwise, most things should sound relatively similar: before computer modelling was cheap, scale models were used to determine the acoustics of constructions before completing the real thing and discovering that it sounds terrible. | + | :A grand piano for a six-foot person tuned to concert pitch has the note A4 at 440Hz; a grand piano for a twelve-inch pianist will have six times shorter strings and play a note six times higher, so 2640Hz, or 2 7/12 of an octave higher, and would be an E7 several notes higher than the maximum extent of a standard piano.

:The strings would be too short. But what if it's electric?
