each note on a musical scale has a letter associated with it (A.B.C.D.E.F.G)

so i could play the word BAG or FACE on the piano.

what is the longest word you could play on the piano?

and for extra credit what does it sound like?

8 letters

Cabbage \Cab"bage\, v. i. [imp. & p. p CABBAGED (-b[asl]jd); p. pr. & vb. n. Cabbaging (-b[asl]*j[i^]ng).] [F. cabasser, fr. OF. cabas theft; cf. F. cabas basket, and OF. cabuser to cheat.] To purloin or embezzle, as the pieces of cloth remaining after cutting out a garment; to pilfer.

and 10 letters

Decabbage, v. i. [imp. & p. p DECABBAGED (-b[asl]jd); p. pr. & vb. n. Decabbaging (-b[asl]*j[i^]ng).] To remove vegetables from inappropraiate orifices (I'll be with you shortly Dr Finlay, I'm just "decabbaging" this patient).

I'm not sure what decabbaging would sound like but I would imagine it is pretty horrific.
