Quick Wit
Did You Know?
This riddle plays on "keys" meaning both piano keys and door keys! A standard piano has 88 keys (52 white and 36 black), with the earliest pianos invented around 1700 by Bartolomeo Cristofori in Italy. The word "piano" is actually short for "pianoforte," which means "soft-loud" in Italian, referring to the instrument's ability to play at different volumes!
