Janco keyboard

[Dean May]

Okay, now I get it. The item number is a reference to an ebay listing. Terry
was smart enough to figure it out. 

 

Very strange piano.

 

FYI, the standard typewriter keyboard layout is called QWERTY, corresponding
to the first letters on the top row. It was actually designed to slow
typists down so they wouldn't exceed the built in speed limitations of the
original mechanical typewriters. A much more efficient layout is called the
Dvorak (learn about it at http://www.mwbrooks.com/dvorak/). 

 

It is interesting to speculate about possible more efficient piano keyboard
layouts.

Just when you thought you've seen everything! What on earth is that thing?
Better yet, why?

Whoa, check this out!  I've never seen anything like this before!  I know
that typewriter keyboards have been reinvented for faster speed and yet no
one uses them because everybody's in a rut.  

 

Now I know how they feel.
