i realise there isnt actually a note missing i was just curious as to why E sharp and F flat weren't represented on the keyboard as a black key like all of the other notes. but now i see as bedwyr explained that E sharp and F flat share the same keys as E and F...but why? i dont understand how these two semitones can share the same keys as two notes...i understand its cos its the c major scale etc...but there must be a reason for this setup...or maybe the guy who designed it just wanted to f@*k with peoples heads...

look, it doesn't matter if it's c or z sharp. it's a major scale and all major scales have the tone tone semitone tone tone tone semitone sequence.
why do a keyboard based on a major scale? dunno.
maybe they were happier then. ;)
