About this part of the keyboard

This black key has two names: D♯6 and E♭6. They are the same key and the same frequency on a piano.

In the treble each note has three short plain steel strings. Short, stiff strings react to the smallest movement of the tuning pin, and tuners set these notes slightly sharp of the theoretical frequency so the octaves sound clean.
