The middle key on the 88 key piano is an E, giving you the piano in the key of ...E!

The lowest note is A, the middle E and the top C giving you an Am triad. But there is still the E.

The violin is tuned to A and the concertmaster is the #1 violin player who is in charge of tuning the whole she-bang. In times gone buy the concert master would tune his violin to A using a tuning fork, and the rest of the tuning of everything is done from there.
