Pianist's pinky-thumb pair (6)

I believe the answer is:

octave

(Other definitions for octave that I've seen before include "Musical interval of eight notes" , "Musical interval doubling note frequency" , "Series of eight notes in music" , "Avocet (anag.)" , "Span of eight notes" .)

I've seen this clue in the Newsday.
