Modern piano keyboards ordinarily have an octave span of 164â165 mm; resulting in the width of black keys averaging 13.7 mm and white keys about 23.5 mm wide at the base, disregarding space between keys. Several reduced-size standards have been proposed and marketed.
Both kinds come in different sizes and styles. Grands can be anywhere from 4 and a half to 9 and a half feet long. Uprights can be 52 or more inches high; around 45 inches (studio uprights); about 40-42 inches (consoles); and as low as 36-38 inches (spinets). Q: Why does the piano have 88 keys?
