That’s right, it is a piece based on the NOKIA RINGTONE, in turn based on a waltz by Tárrega. The touch tones at the end are an especially nice touch—what’s that number? I think it’s 135-6136, or maybe 468-9469. Anybody have perfect pitch?

Playing a ringtone on the piano, whatever. Playing DTMF tones on the piano? Awesome.

(via Unpop!)

I agree with 1356136.

The 1 key is the most out of tune from a normal piano tuning with the x frequency being off with 35.51Hz. Somehow it sounds more like a piano to me, which is probably because of the less stable (or weaker) formants between 5kHz and 10kHz.

(ogg files from wikipedia are opened in Audacity which displays the spectrograms, I didn’t spend that much time looking at them, I swear!)
