About this part of the keyboard
This black key has two names: D♯2 and E♭2. They are the same key and the same frequency on a piano.
In the bass section the strings are usually wound with copper, and on most pianos each note has two strings that must be tuned in unison with each other. Exactly where the wound strings end and how many strings each note has depends on the piano model and size.
