The one alllll the way to the left? Because a few years ago my mom put these stickers on there to indicate the keys.. and I'm afraid they may be in the wrong spot.

Most likely the key is C, but can not be sure not knowing which keyboard you have (assuming it's not a piano). You can look it up here for yourself...

The Left Most Key is an A

Almost every modern piano has 88 keys (seven octaves plus a minor third, from A0 to C8). Many older pianos only have 85 keys (seven octaves from A0 to A7), while some manufacturers extend the range further in one or both directions. The most notable example of an extended range can be found on Bösendorfer pianos, two models which extend the normal range downwards to F0, with one other model going as far as a bottom C0, making a full eight octave range. Sometimes, these extra keys are hidden under a small hinged lid, which can be flipped down to cover the keys and avoid visual disorientation in a pianist unfamiliar with the extended keyboard; on others, the colours of the extra white keys are reversed (black instead of white). The extra keys are added primarily for increased resonance from the associated strings; that is, they vibrate sympathetically with other strings whenever the damper pedal is depressed and thus give a fuller tone. Only a very small number of works composed for piano actually use these notes. More recently, the Stuart and Sons company has also manufactured extended-range pianos. On their instruments, the range is extended both down the bass to F0 and up the treble to F8 for a full eight octaves. The extra keys are the same as the other keys in appearance.

Hmmmm....I think they are all different. Here's an easy way to figure out where the notes are. The white keys are regular notes. THe black keys are your sharps and flats. There is no note between B&C, and no note between E&F. If you notice, there are two spots where there are no black keys between the white ones. (Actually there are more than two, but it's the same two repeated over and over again) Start with the first place (farthest to the left) where there are just two black keys. The white key just to the left of the first black key is C. From there, the next one to the right is D, the next is E, the next is F (there should be no black key between E and F). Followed by G, A, B, and back at C. If you did it right, the B and C will not have a black key in between.

You may not think it, but you really want all 88 keys. You will find that the 66 keys will limit you if you begin playing songs with a large key range. It also helps if for instance you want to shift octives or program two different sounds for two halves of the keyboard. IE: one half piano, the other violin.

considering that this is a full keyboard you are talking about.. the lowest note on the left is A.
