¿Y qué tal el piano?
Un poco rollo las dos teclas esas que fallan pero…
A mí me fallaba una sólo. ¿Cuál te falla?
Un Fa (F) y un Do (C).
¿Pero por arriba o...?
Sí, el Fa (F) por los medios, tirando a agudo, y el Do (C) de los más agudos, la penúltima octava creo que es

one of the highest
"Agudo", in this sense, is "high".
"A0 is the lowest note on the standard piano. The octaves follow A1, A2, etc.. A7 is a few pitches lower than C8, the highest note on the standard piano. "

Or you could say "one of the top ones". "Top notes" can be said referring to the range of an instrument or voice.

Or "one of the (very) high ones", which would probably be more idiomatic in a conversation like this than "one of the highest". There are eight Cs on a full piano keyboard (I've just counted them on mine to make sure!). This seems to be the second highest, C7. I think "very high", or even just "high", would be suitable for the second highest of eight.

Yes, the F around the middle, towards the top, and one of the high Cs, I think it's the second to last octave.
