Significant points when drawing a treble clef: The treble clef was designed to mark this line.īecause the job of the treble clef is to mark the line that represents the note treble G, it's actually easier to start from the inside and work your way out when drawing a treble clef. The second line of the treble clef represents treble G. However, as it evolved over time, this semblance has become less obvious. Historically, the treble clef was meant to look similar to a letter G. Certainly the 88 note keybed (where the notes are placed) is within 1/8" of being exactly the same length.Pin me for later! How to Draw a Treble Clefĭid you know that the treble clef is also called the G clef?

So all in all the two pianos are so extremely similar as to be almost identical. shorter in length than on the acoustic, but otherwise identical. My electronic piano has them too! I had never noticed that. (For one thing I know it does not have the 'lip' on the white keys.) If it is substantially different from the above I'll post a comment to this answer.ĮDIT: Well, I was wrong about the lip on the white keys. When I get home tonight I'll measure my Panasonic 88-note electronic and see if it differs. Horizontally across the width of the keyboard there is approximately 1/16" gap between keys. Length at white key level 3 15/16" tapering back to 3 5/8" at the top. Visible height when not depressed = 7/8 in.īlack key width at white key level = 15/32" tapering up to 7/16" at the top, which is 1/4 in. Visible length = 6 in., including a 1/16" "lip" on the top surface that sticks out beyond the end of the key proper.

A Kawai studio model acoustic piano vintage 1980 or so that I have access to where I work has the following key dimensions (visible portion only, if you need the hidden part, which is much larger, let me know):
