A Short History of Piano keys, Harpsichord Keys, Keyboard Compass Piano and Harpsichord Keys and Keyboard Compass For more information about your piano on any advice on pianos This article provides a short history of keys and keyboard compass. The German word "Klavier," which can refer to any keyboard instrument, possibly derives from the Greek word "celava" which means club (because most of the early organ keys were hit not played); but it is more likely that it came from the Latin word "clavis," meaning key, as this is where the English word key derived from. On early organs, the keys were marked with the pitch. These were translated into letters which were called "clavis."
