Piano
type keys are arranged in a circular fashion that play a chromatic
scale. Each note has six overtones spaced at 1/6 of an octave
apart. The amplitudes of these overtones are all that change
with each key. The result of playing these notes is a scale
that keeps ascending (or descending) as the notes are played
in progression. The exhibit demonstrates priorities in hearing
perception, as well as aspects of sound frequency (pitch class
and pitch height.).
