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.
There are 88 keys on the piano. Of these, 52 are white and 36 are black. The white keys are called naturals. The black keys received their name because each is either a sharp note or a flat note depending on in which key the piece is written. An A sharp, for example, is also a B flat.
