<h2>Controls</h2>
<ul>
<li><strong>Volume Slider</strong> — Adjust the overall volume from silent to full</li>
<li><strong>Reverb Slider</strong> — Add concert-hall reverb to the sound (0–100%)</li>
<li><strong>Sustain (Space bar)</strong> — Hold Space to sustain notes after releasing keys, like a real piano's sustain pedal</li>
<li><strong>Sustain Button</strong> — Toggle sustain on/off with your mouse if you prefer</li>
</ul>

<h2>Tips</h2>
<ul>
<li>The piano uses real acoustic samples from the Salamander Grand Piano — a high-quality, open-source sampled piano</li>
<li>Samples are loaded from a CDN on first load — a good internet connection helps</li>
<li>Use sustain (Space) to let chords ring out naturally</li>
<li>The visual ripple effect shows which keys are being played</li>
<li>Try playing simple melodies first: C-D-E-F-G (keys Q-W-E-R-T)</li>
<li>Works best in Chrome, Firefox, or Edge with Web Audio API support</li>
</ul>
