Treble Clef-Wood Carved Musical Notation Wall Hanging Clef Note Art Multiple Sizes Gift For Music Teacher Musician Lover

MEANING: Musical notation began around 900 AD, when songs became too difficult to memorize. At that time, songs were written in keys, or clefs, of C & F & later G. F Clef became our Base Clef; C Clef is our modern C Clef & the G Clef is now known as the Treble Clef. A clef (from French: clef key) is a musical symbol used to indicate the pitch of written notes. Placed on one of the lines at the beginning of the stave, it indicates the name & pitch of the notes on that line. This line serves as a reference point by which the names of the notes on any other line or space of the stave may be determined. Once a clef has been placed on one of the lines of the stave, the other lines & spaces can be read in relation to it. This is a great gift for a music lover, musician or music teacher! THE CARVING: Our carvings are single pieces of western red cedar, designed & carved to be wall hangings. Each carving begins as a 1 X 12 inch cedar board. While we use power tools (Scroll Saw, Rotary shaft Tool, handheld detail sanders etc.), we use no laser's, CNC machines or computer operated cutting machines. All work is done with our hands & eyes... We cut the 2 dimensional blanks with scroll & jig saws (double-sized custom orders have to be cut with jigsaw). Carving is done with rotary shaft tools & disc grinders. The 80 grit sanding is the final phase of the carving process, removing the nicks & gouges from the carving tools, & finishes the shaping of the weave. The next 2 sandings with 120 then 220 grit finishes the smoothing & polishing. They are finished with Clear Danish Oil to seal the piece, bringing out the grain & the color.
