National Association of Music Merchants, the big music-retailer trade organization. They put on a huge annual trade show to expose new products (I think the Frankfurt Musikmesse is bigger, but it's definitely the biggest music trade show in the US). Glad Aaron's stuff made it.

It has a zillion keys, not 211 per octave. This seems good.

Why 211?

The JI chords example is great!
