Galvanizing protects in two ways: 1  It forms a coating of corrosion-resistant zinc which prevents corrosive substances from reaching the more delicate part of the metal. 2  The zinc serves as a sacrificial anode so that even if the coating is scratched, the exposed steel will still be protected by the remaining zinc.he earliest known example of galvanizing of iron, encountered by Europeans is found on 17th century Indian armor in the Royal Armouries Museum collection. It was named in English via French from the name of Italian scientist Luigi Galvani.
Keyboard and pedals. Almost every modern piano has 88 keys (seven octaves and a bit, from A0 to C7). Many older pianos only have 85 (from A0 to A6), while some manufacturers extend the range further in one or both directions.
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.
