Fact ....assuming a standard piano, there have been pianos built with more and fewer keys/notes...
A piano has 88 notes (keys), from the A0 note up to the C8 note. These notes are produced by piano strings under tension, tuned to vibrate at the correct frequencies.
Let us number these notes from a = 1 to 88. The upper 60 notes of a certain grand piano (from s = 29 to s = 88) are produced by strings with the following parameters (reference: Robert W. Young, "Inharmonicity of Plain Wire Piano Strings." Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, vol. 24. May 1952):

QUICK ANSWER
The modern standard-sized piano has 88 keys, which equals 88 notes and covers a range of seven octaves plus a minor third. A few pianos are specially made with an extend bass range, such as the Imperial Bosendorfer, which has 97 keys and covers a range of eight full octaves

crap.....
They did. Human sacrifice was an integral part of the Aztec religion—as it was for many other societies in the New World, including the Maya. One of the central beliefs of the Aztec world was that Huitzilopochtli, the god of the sun, needed constant nourishment in the form of human blood—seen as the sacred life force—in order to keep the sun moving from east to west across the sky. Those who were sacrificed included both volunteers, who saw their choice as the height of nobility and honor, and prisoners captured by the Aztecs during their frequent wars.
Though the Aztecs likely saw human sacrifice as crucial to their survival, it’s not quite clear how bloodthirsty they actually were. Reports passed down by Spanish conquistadors and other European observers suggest that human sacrifice occurred on a massive scale in the Aztec world. According to Spanish sources, up to 20,000 people were put to death as part of a ceremony to dedicate the Templo Mayor (or Great Temple) in Tenochtitlán in 1487. However, some historians have argued that such reports were exaggerated to make the Aztecs look bad and justify the Spanish conquest. In their view, although human sacrifice was part of Aztec religious tradition, it was not as common a practice as the conquistadors would have us believe.
