Tuning Directions for 23 Popular Stringed Instruments So, even if you have never played the instrument you are emulating with your electronic keyboard, you can at least make sure you’re playing exclusively within the emulated instrument’s natural range. The Musical Instruments Poster shows which notes (referenced to an 88-key piano)-and which corresponding frequencies-define the natural ranges of most popular instruments. That means you need to take care not to play outside the unfamiliar instrument’s natural range. Sometimes you may use a multi-octave electronic instrument such as a synthesizer to replicate the sound of some other instrument, one you don’t normally play, such as a bass clarinet or mandolin. The Musical Instruments Poster displays the frequency (number of vibrations per second, or Hertz) for each note playable on each instrument, including the various human vocal registers.
