But reading your idea did give me a momentary mental picture -- a keyboard in a slight arc surrounding the player, so that the player's hands could approach the keys at the extremes of the scale without kinking the wrists. It would be so much more comfortable to play that I'm sure many people have considered building something that way. The trouble is that it would be a bear to design and build. Educated list members? Has anyone built a keyboard where the keys fan out around the player like that? Susan
