Keys and Intervals — Piano Music Theory Print

Two octaves of a keyboard, and underneath it the thirteen intervals that every chord, scale and melody is built from — named, counted in semitones, and given the sound they are known for.

The minor third that makes a chord sad. The perfect fifth that makes a power chord. The tritone, six semitones and exactly half an octave, which medieval church music banned outright and called the devil in music.

Useful above a piano or a keyboard stand, and quietly good-looking enough to survive in a room that is not a music room.

How it is made

Unframed prints are made in the UK on 170gsm silk poster stock, rolled in tissue and sent in a rigid tube.

Framed editions are a step up: the same design printed on 200gsm enhanced matte fine art paper, set in a classic moulding behind a perspex glaze — lighter than glass, safer in a room where people play, and it survives the post. No mount, so the image runs full bleed to the frame. Arrives ready to hang.

Sizes

A4 is 21 × 29.7 cm, A3 is 29.7 × 42 cm, A2 is 42 × 59.4 cm. A2 is the one most people mean by "a proper poster" — if it is going above a desk or a record player, that is the size to pick. Our print sizes guide has the full measurements and hanging heights.

Made to order

Every print is made when you order it, so allow 3–5 working days before it ships. Nothing sits in a warehouse fading.
