Actually, Irving Berlin only played in the key of D flat, but it's true that he used a transposing piano in order to play in other keys.

  It transposes up to a full octave!  One story is Irving Berlin used one as he 
  only played in the key of C.  
  You’ll be hearing more about the museum in the next few months.
