A fun little program that uses your internal motherboard speaker or "Beep" speaker and your keyboard to make a musical instument very similar to a musical KeyBoard.

To many branches using 'switch', you should have used a function to calculate the pitches based on the current octave. Note how C grows by the power-of-two, but has a gain added each time(16, 33, 65, etc.).
Plus Beep, and "pause" are not portable. Try including cstdlib, and use _beep(), and getchar().
Your variables should be in main(), not global.
edit:
Hope that helps you a bit, in simplifying it, and making it easier on yourself; instead of manually typing all of those pitch tables out.
