I believe that William Coates also has one of Fokker's archifoon
instruments. He lived in England when I met him but moved to Australia.
As far as I know, only four of these instruments were built. But it wins
the prize on quantity, as there were only three generalized-keyboard
Scalatrons built.

We certainly need a generalized keyboard driving MIDI or some equivalent.
These days this should not be hard to build. Does anyone have any
knowledge of the status of various attempts in their various stages?
