When I talked to David Rosenboom (Dean of Calarts School of Music) about an
alternate tuning keyboard of mine back in 1995 (four years ago!), he
mentioned Adriaan Fokker. I've been looking for stuff by this Fokker guy
ever since. I haven't found anything in English yet either! It sure would
be handy if there were something on the web by Fokker (other than all that
German Aviation stuff!).

David also mentioned "Snell" (John Snell I believe). Add Snell to the list
of people-that-are-hard-to-find-info-about.

The Fokker keyboard is just an upside-down version of the Bosanquet!
