The image is a little flat, add a bit more contrast.

nice idea, but the lighting and focus need work. A shot like this needs to be tack sharp and the keys look soft. also but adjusting the lighting you can bring life into these ol 88's

A little on the soft side - perhaps slightly out of focus. Piano keys are 'hard' objects with very clear lines and form. I would think a 'harder' focus would do them more justice. A slight WB adjustment appears to be needed as well.

On a personal side: the name should clue one in - OCTAVE - meaning eight (8) - C to C, not C to B. I think, for some reason, this disturbs me more than the softness.
