Although employees may accrue more than three days of paid sick leave under the one hour for every 30 hours worked (or under an alternative accrual standard) under an accrual method, the law allows employers to limit an employeeâs use of paid sick leave to 24 hours or three days during a year.
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.
The width of piano keys was standardised 120 years ago, based on the needs of a select group of European male pianists. It is time to question the 'one size fits all' approach to the piano keyboard which disadvantages many. These quotes illustrate some of the problems faced by many, many pianists around the world.
