Keyboards and Plucked Strings

These Davis Keyboard Orchestration Charts show the written ranges, and sounding ranges, of standard Keyboard & Plucked Stringed instruments- Guitar, Celeste, Piano Accordion, Organ, Harp, and Piano (written and sounding range). The charts were written so you can quickly reference the ranges, to see if your melody or harmony fits within the ranges of common Keyboard & Plucked Stringed instruments and ensembles (ie. Harp and Guitar, Piano and Celeste, etc.). This new tool is a MUST HAVE for every composer!

The “Davis Keyboard Orchestration Charts ‘Percussion’ (2 Charts)” digital download includes 2 sets (4 in total) (1 “Full Bleed” for digital use and 1 with “Crop Marks” for the possibility of printing and laying on the keyboard behind the black keys). The Orchestration Charts were created for composers, arrangers, orchestrators and teachings to be able to visually see the ranges of other instruments on the piano (while composing or teaching). The charts have been mapped to the size of the standard piano keyboard so that you can also have them printed (some double sided), at a local print shop, to lay behind the black keys (or you can reference them digitally!).

The Charts Included:

15-Keyboard & Plucked Strings (written range)

16-Keyboards & Plucked Strings (transposing range)
