How do I recreate this?

I'm trying to vector this bitmap but I am having trouble with some of the curves. Here is a pic that I edited, the places where I circled red are the places I need help on.

Here is the original image:

The node editing tool is your friend... add nodes as needed.

Have you tried Path|Trace Bitmap (Shift+Alt+B) ?

- load your bitmap image into Inkscape
- select it and press Shift+Alt+B
- multiple scans, select: Grays, Stacked scans, try maybe 5 scans
- Press Update and OK

On top of your bitmap image you get the vectorized image consisting of 5 paths with different gray-levels.
- Ungroup the paths (Shift+Ctrl+G)
- Move them to the side and select the one which you think fits best.

Thanks for the help guys but I am sure there must be a better way.

A better way?

Do you want to make a technically accurate representation?
May need a more detailed image to start with, or, even if more "accurate" redraw, the results won't be matching exactly.

Attached is a quick and dirty tracing over the key. Are you after a more precise copy?

WOW that looks really good. Is it possible for you to make a quick tutorial for me?

Here it is roughly.

Thank you! I now understand.

Here is something in a more accurate shape.
It's mostly practicing, not a special technic.

Cheers!

Here's a fast/dirty non-traced method.
