Yup. http://library.furman.edu/images/Maxwell/keyboard/steinway.jpg: from A at the bottom, extending 7 octaves plus four notes to C at the top.

I know that.. a) a quizette is a quiz designed for women, and men who try to stay in touch with there feminine side. b) the company of 100 keys is “Century Islands Productions”, the company that produces the tube adventure show -“Escape From Fantasy Island”. c) the words Germany, Scotland, France, Greece, Egypt, Czechoslovakia, Portugal and Spain, contain all the letters of the alphabet but b,d,j,q and x. d) one can extract one hundred words from Maverick’s paragraph and reassemble them into a paragraph of one hundred words that makes no sense. e) Faldage’s answer was wrong. Which makes it all worth while.

Previous to 1919 it was part of Austria-Hungary. The countries named have very little in common. It can't be about languages since Scotland speaks mostly-English. It could be about food or music or dances. The tube has me. The only thing I can think of that would match Mav's bio is that he plays bridge and Omar Sharif (the Egyptian actor - Egypt being one of the named countries) is also a bridge player. It's a long shot but I'm guessing that tube has something to do with Bridge. The only terms I know from that game are rubbers and tricks. So you played out some classic bridge problems posed by players from those countries and then finished off the night tinkling on the ivories. Getting warm, Mav?
