Ok this is a little bit easier than the last one.  (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif) When they refer to the 88's in music what instrument are they talking about.

I always wondered that myself, Jimdandy. I remember a snatch of some tune...

"gimme a little bass, with those 88's"

so, would it be one of those big things that look like a violin that they have to set on the floor???  (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)

ahem...

standard piano keyboard has 88 keys, that's the 88's.  I was thrown first, but it came to me.

Yep the piano. Gunthr if you listen again to the song you will hear that right after he says that you hear the piano.
